text: Unlike a gas or oil-burning furnace, heat pumps do not need to consume fossil fuels to produce heat.
text: Heat pumps don’t create heat.
text: At or near this temperature the heat pump needs to run constantly to produce enough heat to maintain a comfortable indoor temperature.
text: Heat pumps typically produce less heat compared to furnaces, and may not be the ideal depending on how warm you like to keep your home.
text: Typical domestic heat pumps have a COP of 24.5, which means the heat pump produces about 24.5 times as much heat as the electricity it uses (under optimum conditions).
text: When the weather turns cool, the heat pump produces heat and uses the furnace to blow warm air throughout the house.
text: Also be aware that the heat pump will have to work harder to produce heat when in defrost mode
text: And that’s true, if we assume that air conditioners only produce cold while heat pumps produce heat.
text: The "heat pump" (compressor), is a high efficiency energy source that creates heat by compressing the refrigerant (similar as to how a refrigerator compression system works).
text: This heat setting should only kick on when the heat pump can’t produce enough heat to warm your home or if your heat pump goes into defrost mode.
