Pompa Ciepła a Kosztowne Ogrzewanie?
Gas, pellets, or heat pump – that’s the choice many investors face. Today, environmentally friendly installations are widely promoted. However, users of heat pumps and biomass boilers often complain about increased operating costs, while gas is perceived as a stable and safe heat source. However, this does not result from the insufficient efficiency of renewable sources, and in the vast majority of cases, the increased operating costs stem from incorrect analysis and selection of the heat source.
First and foremost, a technical assessment of the building conditions should be conducted. Many installers tend to focus solely on selecting the heat source, disregarding key factors that impact costs and user comfort. In most cases, simply replacing the heat source will not lead to a significant change in cost levels.
Is gas still the best choice when getting rid of a smoky furnace? In terms of price, not necessarily. In the past year, gas was one of the most subsidized energy carriers and will gradually be displaced by heat pump installations. The interest in pellet boilers has also significantly decreased. Their drawback lies in the need for handling pellet delivery and storage, ash disposal, and high fuel purchase costs.
Heat pumps have become the most popular newly installed heat source, thanks to their ability to multiply the supplied energy and deliver it to the heating system. However, before choosing a heat pump, a proper energy audit and feasibility analysis should be conducted. Factors such as insufficient connection power, diameter of central heating installation pipes, or building insulation can affect whether the ecological solution remains in name only.
In summary, a heat pump is the most economical heat source. The most crucial step at the beginning of any investment, including renewable energy, should be a cost analysis. Heating system installations are made for years, so it’s important to rely on specialized knowledge and conduct a thorough technical and economic assessment of the project.
