Heat pumps provide an energy-efficient alternative to air conditioners and furnaces in all the climates, such as refrigerators and heat pumps require electricity for transferring the heat from a cool space to a warm space, keeping a cool space cooler, and a warm space warmer.
In the summer season, the heat pumps transfer heat from the cool outdoors to make the house warm. The heat pumps transfer heat instead of generating heat, as heat pumps can efficiently offer comfortable temperatures for the home.
The heat pump industry has garnered $53,821.2 million revenue in 2021, and it is projected to generate $105,462.1 million, advancing at a rate of 7.8% in the coming years.
Ducted Air-Source Heat Pumps: There are majorly three types of heat pumps connected to ducts. It includes air-to-air, geothermal, and, water sources. These pumps collect the heat from the ground, air, water, or outside the home, and focus on using it inside the home.
Air-Source Heat Pump: The air-source heat pump transfers the heat between the house and outside air. Presently, a heat pump can contribute to decreasing electricity consumption by 50% for heating, compared to baseboard heaters and furnaces.
High-Efficiency Heat Pumps: These pumps offer better dehumidification compared to standard central air conditioners, which results in less consumption of energy, and more cooling in summer months. The advanced air-source heat pump technology provides legitimate space for heating solutions in colder regions.
Ductless Air-Source Heat Pumps: These pumps are suitable for home usage. The air-source heat pumps without ducts are also known as a mini-split heat pump. In addition, a specific air-source heat pump is also known as a reverse cycle chiller. It generates hot and cold water instead of air, enabling it to be used in heating mode with the radiant floor heating systems.
Geothermal Heat Pumps: Geothermal heat pumps offer higher efficiency in transferring the heat between the ground and the house or a nearby water resource. It might be expensive to install these pumps, but their low operating costs offer long-term benefits. These pumps can decrease energy consumption by 30% to 60%. These pumps are reliable and sturdy, and they control humidity.
Absorption Heat Pump: It is an advanced heat pump for residential systems, also known as a gas-fired heat pump. The energy resource used in the absorption heat pump is heat or thermal energy. It can be driven with a variety of heat sources, including steam solar-heated water, natural gas combustion, air, or geothermally heated water. Thus, they vary from compression heat pumps.
The major players operating in the industry are DENSO Corporation, Mitsubishi Electric Corporation, Daikin Industries Ltd., Trane Technologies plc., Johnson Controls International, Panasonic Corporation, and GEA Group AG.
Therefore, the demand for heat pumps is rising as they serve as energy-efficient alternatives to air conditioners and furnaces.
