Summary

The economics justifying heat pump installations are brutally honest. If the system is too expensive or not efficient enough to compete with conventional heating methods, fancy sales arguments will not convince an owner to buy the system. The additional expense of the heat pump must be weighed against the reduction in operating cost. When the heat source is the discharge from a cooling system, the economics of heat pumps are immediately more attractive.
