Hot water is something that is very difficult for us to do without.

We have several options for heating water for domestic needs: using a gas heater (boiler or gas instantaneous), an electric heater (electric instantaneous or electric boiler) or a boiler with a heat pump.

1. Gas heaters are difficult to install, costly, and carry some risk of explosion or carbon monoxide poisoning.
2. Electric heaters easy to install, but consume more electricity than a heat pump boiler.
3. Investing in Heat pump will protect your family from carbon monoxide poisoning and other health problems, and also save you from the problem of connecting to natural gas.

Below we will look at the advantages and disadvantages of this purchase.

Advantages of heat pumps

1. Easy to install

Unlike a gas heater, a heat pump can be installed anywhere, you just need to connect it to electricity.

2. Energy Saving

You can save significantly on energy consumption compared to a simple electric water heater. Energy savings equal money earned. Heat pumps have an efficiency factor of about 4. That is, from one kW of energy consumed you get 4 kW of heat.

3. Medium and long term investments

You will recoup your investment in no more than 3 years, and in subsequent years you will earn money on energy savings. Heat pumps are not as efficient in cold temperatures, and when this happens, the electric heater comes into play.

4. Minimum noise

Unlike a gas boiler and central air conditioner, the advantage of purchasing an electric heat pump is that it is designed to operate with minimal noise.

Although a heat pump system produces minimal noise while operating, this type of system is also designed to improve efficiency. Heat pumps use less electricity than other types of systems.

Other benefits:

• A heat pump can be installed in any room of your home, unlike a gas boiler, which must be installed against an outside wall and connected to the gas supply.

1. Higher price.

Compared to a conventional water heater, the initial investment is higher. But after 2-3 years, you will amortize this investment.

2. Reduced efficiency at low ambient temperatures

Low efficiency during frost. When the temperature drops below 0°, the heat pump will use the electrical element built into the device, so the efficiency decreases. The advantage is that winters in Moldova are usually mild.

3. Electricity addiction

Although using a heat pump may be safer than using a gas boiler, the heat pump’s electrical system may fail during a power outage. On the other hand, buying a traditional gas boiler will not save you from the negative consequences of problems with energy supply.

So we come to conclusion that Heat pump is initially expensive, but over time it proves that the investment is truly worth it.

Which heat pump to choose?

We recommend Boiler with heat pump Ariston LYDOS HYBRID 100 /3629053 because it has the following advantages:

• Designed to work in perfect harmony with the environment by absorbing heat directly from the air, the Lydos Hybrid model produces large quantities of hot water with low energy consumption;
• Ecological technology: the air from the heat pump promotes natural ventilation of the room and improves air quality with a pleasant refreshing effect.
• It is easy to install, it connects instead of the old boiler, since the connections are the same.

The Amber Term company is well known on the Moldovan market for its wide range of climate control equipment.

And yes, heat pumps represent a real step into the future of independent energy.
