How a heat pump works

A heat pump is an electrical powered system that uses the mechanical compression technology to absorb the free energy from the environment to produce hot sanitary water and heating.

The earth is heated by the sun and stores a lot of energy. The heat pumps take profit of this inexhaustible energy that can be stored in the air, in the rock, in the ground and in the water in such an efficient way that you can save up to 75% of your heating costs respect to traditional gas boilers.

That’s why these systems are considered as a renewable energy source by the governments.
