Heat Pumps

Why choose a heat pump

1. High energy efficiency: The heat pump harnesses energy from the environment (air, ground, or water) and converts it into heat with a coefficient of performance (COP) that can exceed 4. This means that for every 1 kWh of electricity, it can produce over 4 kWh of heat.

2. Reduced heating & cooling costs: Energy efficiency directly translates to lower operating costs compared to conventional oil or electric resistance systems. In many cases, savings can reach up to 70% of annual costs.

3. Ability to heat & cool with a single unit: Through reverse operation, the same unit can provide cooling in the summer and heating in the winter, reducing the need for multiple systems.

4. Compatibility with underfloor heating or fan coil systems: Heat pumps can operate effectively with both underfloor heating and fan coil units, offering flexibility in space design.

5. Environmentally friendly option: With zero direct emissions and a low carbon footprint, it is one of the “greenest” options for heating/cooling, especially when combined with renewable energy sources (such as solar panels).

6. Eligible for government subsidies & energy-saving programs: It is included in numerous funding programs (e.g., “Exoikonomo”) that provide financial support for its installation, making the investment even more cost-effective.

7. Long-term performance & low maintenance costs: Modern heat pumps have a long service life, with minimal maintenance requirements and exceptional reliability in daily use.
