Which heat pump concepts and segments offer the best balance between investment cost, efficiency and comfort?
Price-performance comparisons are easier when grouped into segments. Budget systems can be perfectly adequate in simple new builds, while premium models may be worthwhile where higher flow temperatures or very low noise are needed.
Government incentives, tax credits and rebates can significantly reduce the up-front investment and shorten the payback period of a heat pump.
Installing a heat pump while incentives are generous can therefore noticeably improve the overall economics.
