Are heat pumps reliable?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Heat pumps are very reliable.Plus, according to the International Energy Agency, they are three to five times more efficient than gas boilers.More than 25 million heat pumps are now used in Europe, and more will be installed to reach carbon neutrality by 2050.From the smallest units to large industrial installations, heat pumps operate through a refrigerant cycle which allows to capture and transfer energy from air, water and ground to provide heating, cooling and hot water. Due to its cyclical nature, this process can be repeated over and over again.This is not a new discovery \\u2013 the principle underlying the way heat pumps work goes back to the 1850s.
