Sähkölämpöjärjestelmät

Sähkölämpöjärjestelmät refer to heating systems that utilize electricity as their energy source. These systems encompass a variety of technologies designed to convert electrical energy into thermal energy for warming indoor spaces. Common examples include electric resistance heating, heat pumps, and infrared heaters. Electric resistance heating is one of the simplest forms, where electric current flows through a resistive element, generating heat. This method is often found in baseboard heaters, electric furnaces, and portable space heaters. Heat pumps, on the other hand, are more energy-efficient. They work by transferring heat from one location to another, either from the outside air, ground, or water into the building, or vice versa for cooling. Infrared heaters emit radiant heat that warms objects and people directly, rather than heating the air. Sähkölämpöjärjestelmät are known for their relatively low initial installation costs and ease of control. However, their operational costs can be higher compared to systems powered by natural gas or other fossil fuels, depending heavily on electricity prices. They are often used in areas where other fuel sources are not readily available or as supplementary heating.
