Why are they better than normal systems?
• Energy Efficient
• Environmentally Friendly
• Physical / Ascetics
• Economics

Energy Efficiency
• Coefficient of Performance (COP)
• ratio of btu heat output to btu electrical input
• conventional heaters have COP = 1.0
• air source heat pumps: 2 4
• water/ground source heat pumps: 3 5

Environmentally Friendly
• uses renewable heat sources
• ground/water use natural heat sources
• reduces energy used (electricity/fuels)
• geothermal best for greenhouse gases

Physical / Ascetics
Heat pumps may have the advantages:
• no visible equipment
• no external fans
• quiet
• adaptable locations
• little risk of damage or weathering

Economics
• high capital cost
• low running costs
• heating and cooling in one device
