Federal incentives for heat pump installations expire this year. Homeowners can choose between air-source and ground-source systems. Heat pumps cut energy use and emissions more efficiently than ...

The government wants Britain to install more heat pumps in a decarbonising drive – but how do they work and can you get help ...

Scientists from China have developed a novel optimization method for medium-depth ground source heat pumps, using an improved chaos particle swarm optimization. They coupled it with either a heat ...

Heat pumps are often talked about as a single technology type, but in practice, there are two main systems used in UK homes: air source and ground source. Both systems work on the same principle, ...

Researchers in Sweden sought to raise the efficiency of ground source heat pumps by combining their operation with that of PVT systems and free cooling. Through a series of simulations, they found ...

Most heat pumps fall into the broad categories of ducted or ductless, but there are also a number of subcategories you should be aware of when choosing a heat pump for your home. Sam Becker ...

A US government report looked at the cost savings and grid effects of the mass installation of heat pumps. The result: lower energy bills. Jon covers artificial intelligence. He previously led CNET's ...

Heat pumps are hot. And when the need arises, they’re pretty cold, too. These high-efficiency electric fixtures heat and cool using your home’s existing ductwork. That means they can replace a ...
