A heat pump is the most energy efficient and modern way of heating.
Heat pumps take heat from the environment (ground, water or air) and give it to the heating system (water or air). Accordingly, heat pumps are divided into four main types: ground-water (geothermal, ground), street air - water, street air - air, ventilation air - water (recuperator).
