Type of article: Article

Summary

The life-cycle cost of a heat-pump heating system is calculated and this cost is compared to the life-cycle cost of a solar-heating system. The economic advantages of heat pumps over solar-heating systems are assessed as functions of geographical location, swimming-pool tariff, and type of pool (covered or uncovered).
