2. Sustainability
The heat pump is based on an ecological operating system, using energy from water, soil or air. Because it has already been proposed to phase out gas-fired power plants and because many European countries are increasingly turning to this heating system, to adapt to this ecological way and to be one step ahead of a series of decisions that will become mandatory. is a plus.

3. Optimal operation
The pump has a dual use: it can be used both in the hot period, when the air in the house cools, and in the cold period, when it aims to heat it.

Secondly, it saves you from the daily cleaning you have to do with the wood-fired boiler.

What doubts can there be about heat pumps?

Therefore, to make a comparison, analyze their operation and practical results in the Nordic countries especially, where they are already the choice of most owners.
What makes people doubt is that something new on the market is also very expensive. What you need to know is that pumps produce between 3 and 5 times more energy than normal ones and even if it seems like a big expense at first, you have to take into account future bills.
Another aspect that calls into question the efficiency of gas pumps refers to the fact that they can only be installed in new constructions. This is just a myth, there are many types of pumps that can be implemented in the renovation and modernization project of a house.
