Heat pumps are more efficient the smaller the temperature gradient is.

Heat pumps are more efficient the smaller the temperature gradient is.
- bronson 2y agoHeat pumps use less energy when there's a small temperature gradient (assuming a good turndown ratio, cheap ones aren't so good), but they're more efficient when there's a large gradient. That's why they require careful modeling before being used for hydronic heating.
