Heat pumps are an innovative technology that offers an efficient solution for both home heating and cooling. Utilizing natural resources such as air, ground, or water, these systems ensure comfortable temperatures throughout the year. They are not only energy-efficient but also environmentally friendly, helping to reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions. Thanks to their high efficiency and versatility, heat pumps have become a popular choice for modern households. With their long lifespan and low operating costs, heat pumps offer long-term savings and comfort, making them a meaningful investment for the future.

The advantages of using heat pumps are various. For example, purchasing and storing fuel will no longer be necessary, as these devices generate heat from natural resources. There will be no concerns about possible smoke leaks, soot formation, or fires. A heat pump can be used as the sole heating device or as an additional heating device. The heat pump operates automatically, meaning no constant supervision is required. These devices will save money on heating bills, and their maintenance is simple and will not incur additional costs.

However, in any case, calculations must be made and evaluated to determine which device will be suitable for your building, considering the required heat energy consumption and several other factors. The Consumer Rights Protection Center (PTAC) encourages you to review the prepared infographics on the advantages, types, operating principles, and energy labeling of heat pumps.

At the same time, PTAC informs about the opportunity to apply for the project competition financed by the Emission Allowance Auction Instrument “Reduction of Greenhouse Gas Emissions in Households - Support for the Use of Renewable Energy Resources” until December 31, 2024 (inclusive).

The aim of the competition is to reduce carbon dioxide emissions in households by supporting the acquisition of heat or electricity generation equipment to ensure heat or electricity production and supply for household needs or to establish household connections to the centralized heating system.

The competition plans to support the replacement of existing fossil fuel heating boilers with new heat generation equipment (including heat pumps (air, water, ground) with a total installed capacity of up to 50 kW). More information about the competition and the application procedure can be found HERE.

When choosing a heat pump, PTAC especially urges you to examine the information indicated on the energy label and data sheet and to evaluate the suitability of the specific equipment for your needs.
