The all-in-one solution for heating, cooling, and domestic hot water.
How it Works
A standard air source heat pump takes heat from outside air using a refrigerant. Air-to-water (ATW) heat pumps use this same process, then exchange the heat to a fluid – typically water or a mix of water and glycol – and transport this fluid into a home to provide space heating through hydronic distribution (e.g., radiant floor, radiators, or baseboard water circulation systems). These systems can also be used in a cooling mode, creating chilled fluid and running it through an air coil to distribute air conditioning to a home or business.
Hydronic Heating & Cooling with Air-to-Water Heat Pumps
The benefits of choosing air-to-water:
Suitable for homes and light commercial projects.
Thermal properties of water make it an especially efficient and effective means of providing heat.
A light-weight heat pump alternative to fossil fuel based hydronic systems that does come with the space requirements or upfront cost of Geothermal.
30% Higher efficiency compared to a traditional air-source heat pump.
Saves up to 47% more energy than the most efficient natural gas boilers.
Uses only 25% of the electricity required for electric baseboard.
