Cold Climate Heat Pumps Deliver Better Performance
Today, there’re more opportunities to use heat pumps in a wide array of climates, including cold-climate zones. All-electric, high-performance heat pumps are among the most effective & popular technologies for decarbonizing cooling and heating, particularly as the industry moves toward strategic electrification & a less carbon-heavy grid. With the assortment of available ducted & ductless products, heat pump solutions are accessible for low-load, new construction and retrofit projects. Dislocation of fossil-fuel-burning HVAC unit is already feasible. Heat pumps offer more energy in the form of heat than they employ in the form of electrical energy. The competence of a heat pump is explained by its COP (Coefficient of Performance). The higher the COP, the more competent the system. Combustion-based heating units such as boilers and furnaces top out with COPS of 0.96-0.98. Conventional electrical-resistance system might attain a COP of 1, but COP values ...
