ASHP/GSHP (simply explained)
I'm often asked is there enough heat in the ground or air to directly supply all mt heating and hot water needs?
The answer to the question is NO.
The ASHP/GSHP system needs a trick to do this, which is to use the refridgerent cycle to perform this trick.
What is a heat pump?
Simply, it's the collective name for the refridgerent cycle.
If you've got a fridge in your home then you've got a heat pump because that's exactly what one is. It's just using the heating side of the cycle not the coolong side..
