In my experience, one of the typically-market-available stand-alone infrared heaters, which retail for around $200, run on 120 V, and are noted as being 1,500 watt, cost about $1.00 to $1.50 per day to run, in Central Virginia, where we have Dominion Virginia Power. In very cold temperatures, such as those below 30 degrees Fahrenheit, for more than a day, I must run two of them, in order to maintain room temperatures, without any other source of heat, for sizable portion of my split-level house - around 1,000 sq. ft. - though a connected portion of the house, on another level, does have a working heat pump. Therefore, I would estimate that a heat pump would be more efficient, because I think that the heat pump would match or beat this cost to run, for 24 hours.
What else can I help you with?
If you set pool heat pump at temperature above the temperature you want will the pool heat up quicker For example setting it at 100 when you want pool at 80 quick?
It works this way. Even if you could set the thermostat at 200 it will not heat the water any quicker. It sounds as if you have an undersized heater. A larger heater will heat the water faster if your system can upgrade to the larger size heater. Your house will not heat up any faster if you set the thermostat to maximum. It is the output capacity of the heater that determines how fast it will heat. What dictates heater size is: the size of the gas line. the length of the gas line run from the meter to the heater. the size of the meter. how many GPM the pump is producing. the GPM capacity of the filter. the size of the plumbing in you pool ~ 1.5"; 2"; 3" total gallons in the pool. are among a few. Just common sense here...... k
Why do AC and heater run at the same time?
The AC and heater might run at the same time if the thermostat setting triggers both systems to maintain a specific temperature. For example, in heat pump systems, the heat pump may run in cold weather to provide supplemental heat to the home while the AC unit is also activated to cool the air that is released into the home.
How does a heat pump resemble a refrigerant system?
A heat pump and a refrigerant system both use refrigerant to transfer heat. The refrigerant absorbs heat from one area (such as indoors in a heat pump) and releases it in another area (such as outdoors in a heat pump). The main difference is that a heat pump can both heat and cool a space, while a refrigerant system is typically used for cooling only.
How can I efficiently heat my pool water to ensure comfortable swimming temperatures?
To efficiently heat your pool water for comfortable swimming temperatures, consider using a solar heater, heat pump, or gas heater. Solar heaters use energy from the sun, heat pumps transfer heat from the air, and gas heaters burn fuel to warm the water. Additionally, using a pool cover when not in use can help retain heat and reduce energy costs. Regular maintenance and proper insulation can also improve heating efficiency.
Could a heat pump work without the latent heat of vaporization?
There are probably several ways to build a heat pump; for example, a substance might be compressed and expanded. If latent heat is used, this is probably because it is easier and more efficient to build the heat pump that way.
What are the differences between a heat pump and an infrared heater, and which one is more efficient for heating a space?
A heat pump uses electricity to transfer heat from the outside to inside a space, while an infrared heater emits infrared radiation to directly heat objects and people in a room. In terms of efficiency, heat pumps are generally more efficient for heating larger spaces, while infrared heaters are more efficient for spot heating or smaller areas.
What are the differences between an infrared heater and a heat pump, and which one is more efficient for heating a space?
An infrared heater uses electromagnetic radiation to heat objects directly, while a heat pump transfers heat from one place to another using electricity. In general, heat pumps are more efficient for heating a space as they can provide more heat output for the energy input they use.
Would the water pump cause low heat from heater?
a bad water pump could cause low heat. The heater uses the coolant from the pump to generate heat.
What is the cost of a heat pump water heater?
The cost of a heat pump water heater typically ranges from 1,000 to 3,500, depending on the brand, size, and features.
Is it best to use room heaters or heat pump?
It depends. A heat pump is probably more efficient if you're going to heat the entire house evenly; if you only want it warm in one room, a room heater may be better.
What are the key differences between a heat pump water heater and a gas water heater?
The key differences between a heat pump water heater and a gas water heater are the energy source they use to heat water. A heat pump water heater uses electricity to transfer heat from the air or ground to heat water, while a gas water heater burns natural gas or propane to heat water. Heat pump water heaters are more energy efficient but may have higher upfront costs, while gas water heaters are typically cheaper to install but have higher operating costs.
Is electric thermal storage heating better than geothermal heating?
Im really not sure of the question but if you are refering to using an electric immersion heater in a thermal store over a ground source heat pump, the immersion heater has a COP of 1 and the ground source heat pump has a COP of 3. So 3 times better.
Should the air conditioner unit come on when the heater is blowing?
If your heater is a heat pump , then yes.
What are the differences between a heat pump water heater and an electric water heater?
A heat pump water heater uses electricity to move heat from the air or ground to heat water, making it more energy efficient than a traditional electric water heater that directly uses electricity to heat water. Heat pump water heaters are more expensive upfront but can save money in the long run due to lower energy costs.
Can Air conditioner exhaust be used as heater?
its called a heat pump
Is heat pump bettar than an electric heater?
A properly installed heat pump uses about one third of the electrical energy to produce the same amount of heat.
What are the pros and cons of an electric heat pump versus a natural gas pool heater?
An electric heat pump needs heat available to pump. If it is 30 degrees outside, heating a spa to 102 or so, may be impossible unless the heater has some type of alternative heat source. A properly sized, gas fired heater can take care of a larger range of heating needs. A combination heat pump and natural gas heater, probably with a controller, really makes the issue more difficult, expensive, and would require a lot of study for efficient, cost effective operation. Bottom line: In really mild climates a heat pump might do the job. In cooler climates the gas heater rules. And where a wide range of temperatures and high heat demand is wanted by the customer, a gas heater is the only way to go. A backup heat pump may take years to payout. HM Louisiana
