Heat pumps are usually associated with high acquisition costs and heating of modern new buildings, but the opposite remains true, and in the case of heat pumps (hereinafter referred to as TČ), the higher the heat loss of the house, the greater the savings achieved by the operation of the TČ.

On what principle does the heat pump work? It's simple, imagine a refrigerator. Reverse its function to get an idea of how the heat pump works. Heat energy is taken from the ground, air or water and thanks to the heat pump cycle it is transferred to a higher level, where it is suitable for use for heating (or water heating). The heat pump works with the primary and secondary circuits. The primary is the one that is in contact with nature. Secondary circuit, that's a system of radiators, underfloor heating, a ceiling radiant system in your house. And why does TC help owners of older houses the most?

The heat pump is a full-fledged and high-quality heating source that reduces the cost of heat production and in the case of a renovated house or non-insulated building, the investment in TČ is returnable within a few years and thus appreciates your property. You can also use state-provided boiler subsidies or the Green Savings financial contribution to purchase TČ. The criterion for obtaining a subsidy is the use of an accumulation vessel in a heating system with a heat pump.

The hybrid system allows you to cleverly process thermal energy by combining from air and ground. This system can be suitably supplemented by a power plant made of photovoltaic cells, which will cover the electrical consumption of both the house and the heat pump. Funds that would otherwise have been spent on the operation and maintenance of non-electronic heating systems are being spent. However, your existing gas or electric boiler, or fireplace with heat exchanger, can still serve as an additional or backup heat source.

The comfort of the heat pump in the home environment is accompanied by the possibility of setting room temperature and control via wi-fi interface. Room temperature preferences are often individual. Someone spends most of their time in the office and returns home in the evening, someone prefers a warmer or colder environment. You can choose from individual regulations that have a wide range of control options. From standard thermostats to smart home-level regulations.

The heat pump is a very versatile means of maintaining thermal comfort in the home both in winter and in the summer months. With a heat pump, you get one source for heating as well as for cooling. Cooling in the air/water system then benefits from regenerating the temperature in the soil.In many cases, TČ also provides pool heating. The system allows you to cleverly process thermal energy from the air or from the ground depending on seasonal conditions and client requirements.

As the prices of heat pumps have fallen in the last decade, the return on investment is also being shortened. Money put into a heat pump will be returned to most households between the age of 6 and 8. For a specific illustration, use the following example. The efficiency of operation is also affected by the heating factor TČ (cop). This shows the ratio of the heat energy obtained to the electricity consumed. The heating factor therefore affects the economy of the heat pump operation. The higher the heating factor, the more efficient the heat pump is. EcoGEO heat pumps, for example, boast one of the highest COP on the market.

Do not leave the boiler replacement at the last minute. You should replace your old boiler by September 2020. The second wave of boiler subsidies in many regions in the Czech Republic is extended! We've made some basic mistakes that you should avoid.

In all regions except vysočina, it will be possible to submit an application using an electronic form and then deliver the entire documentation back. So you should avoid endless rows, as was the case with the first wave. There is also no need to implement so-called microenergic measures, e.g. partial replacement of windows or insulation of the roof.

First you have to arrange a boiler replacement and only then ask for payment of the money, certainly not the other way around. The officials will send you home, and you'll needlessly stand up to the hourly lines.

The existence of the boiler must be documented by the applicants in a fully connected state. If you have already disposed of the boiler, this may be a problem in the subsequent reimbursement of the money. So be sure to document all this thoroughly to avoid inconvenience.

Another common problem may be, for example, installing a different boiler than indicated in the project. So try to really follow everything as stated in the project. The subsidy inspectors are relentless and you do not have to reach the subsidy at all.

The huge problem with filling out applications is associated with administration, but fortunately the errors in the documentation are solvable and it is in the interest of the regions to help you with any completion. Alternatively, please contact us.

Contrary to previous challenges, it is no longer possible to obtain a subsidy for a new coal boiler. However, the obligation remained to purchase a boiler combining the combustion of coal and biomass, in which coal is burned. Environmentalists criticize the support of these boilers and recommend support for these boilers in the next call to consider. At Geocore, we design gentle maintenance-free heat pumps, the offer of which can be viewed in the Products section.

Replacing the boiler may no longer be associated with energy saving measures for buildings in the current call. Therefore, you no longer have to replace doors and windows to increase the energy savings of these buildings.

The Air Protection Act implies a penalty, which often motivates owners of old boilers to replace them. Inspectors can impose a fine of up to CZK 20,000 for leaking suspicious smoke. Therefore, be sure to take advantage of the possibility of subsidies and contact us with any questions. We will be happy to suggest a gentle solution and advice.
