How to Use Air-to-Water Heat Pumps at Homes?

When it comes to home comfort, few systems provide with versatility and efficiency of an air-to-water heat pump. Designed to heat and cool your home with renewable energy from the air, air to water heat pumps provide performance that traditional HVAC systems simply can’t match.

The Arctic Air-to-Water Heat Pump is a fully integrated solution that can handle everything, ranging from warming your floors to keeping your pool at the perfect temperature. Here are the smart ways to use an air-to-water heat pump at home and experience unmatched year-round comfort:

Radiant Floor Heating for Ultimate Comfort

Just imagine stepping onto warm floors during chilly winter mornings; that’s the magic of radiant floor heating. Air-to-water heat pumps are particularly ideal for this system as they operate efficiently at lower water temperatures (around 110–120°F).

Instead of forcing hot air through vents, the heat is evenly distributed across the floor surface, while creating cozy, consistent warmth throughout your home. This heat pump system is quieter, cleaner, and more energy-efficient than traditional forced-air systems.

Radiant Floor Cooling for Summer Relief

Radiant floors can cool your home too. During summer, the same network of pipes beneath your floors can circulate cool water and absorb excess heat from your living spaces.

The Arctic Air-to-Water Heat Pump automatically switches modes and provides gentle, even cooling without the drafts and noise of air conditioners. When combined with a dehumidification system, radiant cooling creates a comfortable indoor climate during humid Winnipeg summers.

Heating Residential Hot Water Efficiently

An air-to-water heat pump can produce residential hot water using its optional internal heat exchanger. The EcoULTRA buffer tank allows the system to prioritize water heating when needed. It’s ideal for households that need consistent hot water for showers, laundry, and kitchen use.

This dual-function design means you get space heating and hot water from one energy-saving system. The heat pump system reduces energy consumption and utility costs.

Keeping Pools and Hot Tubs Perfectly Tempered

Do you love swimming or soaking in your hot tub year-round? The Arctic system’s heat and chill capability ensures that your pool or spa stays at the right temperature regardless of the season. During cooler months, this heat pump system efficiently heats the water up to 104°F (40°C). In summer, the unit can switch to chill mode to cool the pool, while preventing overheating and chemical imbalance. This enhances comfort and reduces the need for costly pool chemicals and gas heaters.

Whole-Home Heating and Cooling with Air Handlers and Fan Coils

If you seek comprehensive climate control, you can combine your air-to-water heat pump with hydronic air handlers or fan coils. These components can distribute warm or cool air throughout the home. They can offer quick temperature adjustments and customizable zoning. Whether it’s a cozy bedroom or an open living space, every area can be independently controlled for maximum comfort and efficiency.

Final Consideration

From radiant floors to pools and hot tubs, an air-to-water heat pump makes the ultimate all-in-one comfort solution. Consider replacing multiple systems with one intelligent, energy-efficient unit and enjoy year-round comfort. With Arctic Heat Pumps, homeowners can save up to 75% on heating and cooling costs.
