Air Source Heat Pumps vs. Ground Source (Geothermal) Heat Pumps | Ep 2

In this episode we compare air source and ground source (also called geothermal) heat pumps. In summary, ground source heat pumps have a higher upfront cost and require digging a trench but are more energy efficient and have a longer lifespan. Air source heat pumps are cheaper to install and take up less space, however they don't last as long and their efficiency is lower and more dependent on the weather. If you have any questions about heat pumps, please send me an email at info@heatpumpguides.com [dylan@heatpumpguides.com] I will do my best to answer your heat pump questions and/or connect you to a reputable contractor who can help.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
