Air-to-water heat pumps are becoming popular in the hydronic heating industry due to their energy efficiency and sustainability. Chris Decato of U.S. Boiler Co. notes a rising demand driven by their cost-effectiveness and reduced carbon footprint.
Air-to-water heat pumps and water-to-water geothermal heat pumps provide warm water for space heating, domestic water heating, and chilled water for cooling. Switching a hydronic heat pump system from space heating to cooling and vice versa seasonally is relatively simple. The system operating mode is changed at the thermostat or a dedicated system mode switch with heat, off, and cool settings.

Daikin launched the collaboration during the company’s 100th year anniversary and National Air Condition Appreciation Days. Houston Mayor John Whitmire declared August 13 as “Daikin Air Conditioning Appreciation Day” in Houston, in honor of the company’s dedication to sustainability and community well-being.
The Pass Life community near Summit at Snoqualmie ski resort struggles to keep up with snow removal due to quick snow accumulation. Traditional methods like shoveling and snowblowing are insufficient.
I attended a conference hosted by the Building Performance Association and presented on air-to-water heat pump systems. Many professionals were interested in heat pumps, especially ductless air-to-air systems. One person mentioned the difficulty of finding qualified installers for air-to-water heat pumps and noted the higher cost compared to ductless air-to-air systems.
