ASIC Mining Glossary
Heat Pump
A heat pump moves heat and can deliver more useful heat than the electricity it consumes.
Energy and Heat
Why It Matters
It serves as a benchmark for comparing the thermal value of a miner repurposed as a heat source. Browse our home miners and hydro miners to compare heat-reuse options.
What to Watch For
An ASIC does not automatically replace a heat pump; their uses and constraints are different.
