How Do You Get Benefitted from Cold Water Therapy?

Image
The Chinese and Romans have practiced cold water therapy for thousands of years. Currently, modern medicines have included the healing practices of cold water therapy. Generally, cold water therapy is connected to an alternating hot and cold medium. The therapeutic session involves using a steam or sauna room to make your body warm before entering the cold plunge pool for a few seconds or minutes. Why Do You Take Cold Water Therapy? Cold water therapy includes immersing your body in hot water and then in cold water. It can do wonders for your health and well-being. When you enter the cold water, it makes the nerves around the muscle and joint area numb as soon as possible. As a result, your body releases endorphins that can support muscle and joint stress. The cold water helps in the contraction of blood vessels and minimizes swelling of joints and muscles. Another reason behind taking cold water therapy is to increase the ability of your body’s immune system. The cold w...

How Does Air to Water Heat Pump Help in Radiant Floor Heating?

Image
Are you looking for the best heat pump system for radiant floor heating? If so, you should look no further than the Arctic Air to Water Heat pump . This system stands unmatched among any heat pump available on the market. The main reason behind it is the lower the design temperature the higher the heat pump performance.  Usually, radiant floors need around 110-120F supply temperature and the larger systems can require temperatures as low as 80-90F. You will take advantage of lower design temperature and higher performance through geothermal systems. All modern hydronic heating systems are specifically designed around lower temperatures and solar thermal, condensing gas boilers and heat pumps work well at lower design temperatures. Arctic series air to water heat pump is ideal for radiant floor heating because it has a larger buffer mass than other heating emitters. The large mass allows the heat pump to make smaller temperature shifts and the mass can be able to hol...

How Does Air Source Heat Pump Integrating Solar Thermal Heater Work?

Image
Are you looking for the most energy efficient air source heat pump in the market? Want your heat pump to work really well in cold climates like North America? If yes, then you should look no further than Arctic Air Source Heat Pump . This technology is considered as a highly efficient and reliable one for its hydronic heating and cooling applications.  Generally, an Arctic series air source heat pump is perfectly engineered to integrate with a solar thermal heater. After the integration, the system can deliver optimal efficiency and operational costs. Solar thermal system is a right combination to use along with an air source heat pump which can add an extra of 47,000 BTU per day on an average per collector.   These heat pumps come with Sun Rain solar evacuated tube collectors that can help you deliver hot water to the system even in the coldest North American winter. These collectors are considered as the state of the art technology in North America and c...

Make The Most Of Your Heat Pump In Cold Weather By Following These 7 Tips

Image
Heat pumps are a great option for most of the homeowners, very much anywhere. In fact, they’re the most affordable choice when compared to any other electric heating procedures that produce original heat. Most importantly, heat pumps are an excellent way to optimize your yearlong heating & cooling expense. However, regardless of all these advantages, many homeowners still are in doubt to buy a heat pump for cold weather . How can a heat pump pull heat from the air when it’s very cold outside? Here are 7 things you must know about running your heat pump during winter that may be your final push towards having one fitted in your home. 1 – Defrost mode can be frightening, but it is essential for heat pump function during the winter. Ice may start to develop on your exterior components when the heat plunges below freezing. If this happens, your heat pump will overturn operation to unfreeze those components. But, this will only for a short time and is absolutely normal. ...

Heat Pumps in Nova Scotia – The Energy Efficient Heating Solution

Heat pumps are one of the significant examples that determine how far technology has come! Providing energy efficient heating using electricity is truly a tremendous technological advancement! What makes heat pumps in Nova Scotia a better choice to tackle with the cold weather is that these harvests are prevailing heat from the outdoor air and bring it inside without making use of fuels!  Limits of the Heat Pumps – Heat pumps extract heat from the air outside, hence their efficiency is directly proportional to the temperature outdoor which means when there is less heat in the air the heat pumps need to work a bit harder to extract the available heat. Top quality and highly efficient heat pumps can extract heat down to temperatures as low as -20 degrees Celsius and beyond that in some instances. Heat Pump Efficiency – Basically, two efficiency ratings are set by the heat pump industry. The first one is the Heating Season Performance Factor (HSPF) and the second one ...
