Step 2 – Daily Energy Consumption Multiply your pumps kWh by the number of hours per day you run your pump. Here is an example using a 1-½ HP Pool Pump running 8 hrs. per day (Use kWh from step 1) 2.14 kWh x 8 hrs = 17.12 kWh per day Step 3 – Energy cost?

Variable-speed pumps are capable of operating at more than one speed, allowing homeowners to adjust pump power ratings according to their need. They cost the most to buy, on average between $640 and $1,300 for most swimming pools, but cost much less on operation; about 50% to 75% of the single-speed pump operating cost.

Usually, the cost of a ground source heat pump installation will be more expensive than other heating methods. Moreover, a typical GSHP installation costs between £14,000 and £20,000. But, in the long term, ground source heating is a much more efficient heat harvester than air–source heat pumps, and much cheaper than oil and gas.

Ground source heat pumps are low-maintenance, low noise solutions. The underground elements can be expected to last up to 50 years while the other parts of the system have a reasonable life expectancy of 15-25 years. The actual lifetime will depend on the quality of the unit and its installation.

The average pool pump costs about $690 but prices depend on the model you choose. Single-speed and low-head pumps cost the least, ranging from $300 to $600. Variable speed and high-head submersible models are on the pricier end between $800 and $1,200. While less common, solar pumps run on solar energy and cost between $500 and $2,000.

A new pool water pump system with a timer costs between $750 and $1,550. Timers ensure that your pool doesn’t run constantly and you won’t have to manually turn the pump on and off. If you’re adding a new filter as well, this could bump the total project costs up to $700 to $5,550.

Solar pumps may be added to a solar heater, or it can be installed independently. Ultimately, installing this style of pool pumps will typically cost more than similarly sized ones, but they pay for themselves over time and many areas also have rebates and credits available to help offset the initial cost.

Heat pump hot water systems range in price from about $2500 to $5000 fully installed. Additional costs may be incurred if alterations to valves or pipes are needed. The above prices include the federal incentive that is provided through the small scale renewable energy scheme.

Each single unit (often referred to as a one-to-one) heat pump that is used daily will increase your electricity bill by $50 to $100 per month. However, the heat pump will reduce your heating fuel bill accordingly – for a typical household that uses 800 gallons of oil per year, a heat pump can reduce the amount of oil used by 300 gallons.

For comparison: A 1000W heat pump with a COP of 2 will boil less than 6 gallons of water per hour. Do keep in mind that the amount of electricity used is the same in both cases. Running a 1000W heater for an hour costs about 13 cents. On average, a COP 3.5 heater will boil a gallon of water for less than 1 cent.
