Heat pumps are becoming more and more common around the globe as the preferred heating method for water in many different applications including, swimming pools, hot water systems and hydronic heating systems for homes & buildings both on a domestic and commercial level. This is due to their compact design, ease of install and cheap running costs. Heat pumps can offer the same year round heating performance as gas heaters but use considerably less energy in the process. This significantly reduces running costs as well as the amount of CO2 produced which benefits YOU and the planet.There are also new applications emerging for this technology such as its use in the temperature control of water for Hydroponic and Aquaponics farms as well as fish farms and Over the coarse of the life of a heat pump it will pay for itself many times over in savings alone. There are situations where a traditional solar solution may work out cheaper however you will never get the year round performance of a heat pump from solar. Panasonic heat pumps are top quality and developed specifically for the Nordic climate.
