The benefit of using such pumps is represented by the fact that they can either provide hot air, or cold air, working both as a heating system and as an air conditioner. Depending on the weather outside, you can use a single system, to provide the needed atmosphere that would make you feel comfortable in your own house. These heat pumps also use an auxiliary heat source, in case the pumps can't provide sufficient heat by themselves. Any of the electricity, gas or oil can be considered a good alternative source for the pumps. On the other hand, the jordvarme pumper ( geothermal heat pumps ) use the shallow ground as a heating source and the water as a way of transporting the warm temperature. They are far more cheaper and have a long life, for they use low operating costs.

There are many types of heat pumps, primary used for the same thing, but with different structure and working mechanism. Among them the most popular are the air-to-air heat pumps and the air-to-water heat pumps. Besides heating and cooling the house, the luft til luft varmepumper – air to air heat pumps, also include an advanced technology that purifies the air, being quite useful for persons with allergy problems. Such systems can be installed in residences, companies, enterprises, deposits and even in small apartments. They are controlled with a simple remote control and don't require special maintenance. Another new, efficient system for heating, is represented by the luft til vand varmepumper ( air-to water heat pumps ). They are the perfect solution for both heating a place and also providing hot water. You practically have everything included in one single technology, reducing a lot the costs for heating a place with the traditional systems, that run on electricity or gas. Efficiency is not an appropriate term to describe these amazing heating and cooling systems.
