Here’s how to compare baseboards to heat pumps.
Baseboards create heat through resistive loads. As all the energy creates heat, you can say they are 100% efficient, but that is misleading if you take that to be good.
Heat pumps simply move heat, in either direction, to heat, or cool, and they do this using 1/3rd the energy.
Today’s heat pumps work at much lower air temperatures, can also use ground loops, or exchange heat from water bodies. #HeatPumps
