Backup Heat Source

Pairing a heat pump with an electric boiler as a backup heat source is a cost-effective and energy-efficient way to ensure reliable heating, especially in cold climates. While heat pumps efficiently extract heat from the air, ground, or water, their performance declines in extremely low temperatures. An electric boiler serves as a crucial backup heat source, ensuring consistent indoor comfort when extra heating capacity is needed.

Why Combine?

By sizing the heat pump to cover most heating demand under normal conditions, investment costs remain low. The electric boiler only provides backup heating during colder periods, optimizing energy consumption while maintaining stable temperatures. This hybrid heating system allows the heat pump to operate at peak efficiency, while the electric boiler acts as a backup heat source, ensuring energy savings and cost-effectiveness.

Winning Concept

A combined system extends the lifespan of the heat pump by reducing strain, while the electric boiler steps in as needed. If the heat pump fails, the electric boiler serves as a backup heat source, preventing heating disruptions and allowing for stress-free repairs or replacements. This redundant heating solution enhances reliability and provides uninterrupted warmth, even in extreme conditions.
