The first heat pump was invented in 1948, when a homeowner decided to recover the tepid water from the operation of a deep frigid freezer, within a year, the homeowner replaced his coal furnace with his heating innovation.
However, heat pumps would become popular until the 1970s.
They earned attention during the oil crisis because the system runs strictly on electricity. Heat pumps don’t burn fossil fuels to generate heat. Instead, the operation takes luck of ambient heat found in outdoor air even during colder weather. This heat is pulled out of the air, compressed to a warmer temperature plus delivered into the house. Heat pumps avoid problems with yellowcondo gasses plus combustion byproducts. They don’t produce carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, formaldehyde or fumes of any kind. The operation doesn’t cause problems with overly dry air. During the warmer season, the heat pump literally reverses the flow of refrigerant. The system acts much like a refrigerator in that it removes heat from the indoor environment plus transfers it outdoors by way of refrigerant, then electric heat pumps are far more energy efficient than gas boilers or conventional air conditioner systems. While they cost more to purchase plus install, the savings on running costs hastily helps to recover the investment, and plus, the single unit fulfills two jobs. The heat pump handles both heating plus cooling, supplying a year round solution. These innovations are especially safe, clean plus quiet. They are attractively environmentally friendly. Modern heat pumps feature something called flexible-speed technology that allows an automatic adjustment of output anywhere from forty to one hundred percent capacity. By supplying only the precise amount of heating or cooling necessary to maintain consistent indoor temperature, the heat pump minimizes energy consumption.
