Is it more efficient to use the emergency heat instead of the heat pump when the temperature is in the 30's?
There is still enough heat in the air to run your heat pump when the temp is in the 30,s
Why not just use that energy consumed running the heat pump to run electric heaters inside the house and heat it directly that way?
Heat pump is more efficient. If you use electric heaters, 1 joule of electric energy will produce 1 joule of heat energy. If you use heat pumps, 1 joule of electric energy can pump several joules - perhaps up to 5 or 6, depending on the outside temperature, and the efficiency of the heat pump - of heat, from the outside to the inside.
What is the use of thermistor in fire alarm?
They are the central component in heat detectors which detect heat.
Can you use a heat pump just as a air conditioner?
sure why not
When to use emergency heat setting on a heat pump?
Heat pumps don't work well when its below freezing point temperature's
Is a programmable thermostat good to use with a heat pump system?
A programmable thermostat works fine with a heat pump. Just remember that a heat pump does not heat as fast as a furnace because of the lower BTU ratings so do not set the thermostat as far back as you normally would. Also make sure to buy a thermostat that has heat pump terminals.
What different types of heat pumps are available for a home?
The most used type of heat pump is the air-source heat pump, which transfers heat between your house and the outside air using conduction. If you heat with electricity, a heat pump can trim the amount of electricity you use for heating by as much as 30% to 40%, even 50%.
What type of thermostat does a heat pump with auxilary heat use?
Any brand or make will work if it is 2 heat 1 cool thermostat
When should you use emergency heat?
During an emergency. i.e. when the heat pump is not working. If your heat pump can not keep your house warm, then the auxiliary heating coils (same thing as emergency heat) will come on automatically. If not, then there is a problem with your heating system.
Does a heat pump use gas?
Refrigerant gas. Not natural or propane gas.
What size heat pump for a 18x33x4.5 deep above ground pool?
The size of a heat pump that you can use for a pool which is 18 feet wide by 33 feet long and has a depth of 4.5 feet can vary depending on specific brand of heat pump you wish to purchase. The minimum size of heat pump for an above ground pool of this size in 102,000 BTU.
How many watts does the standard heat pump use?
About 3 kWh's of heat are created for every kWh of electricity it consumes
