Heat pumps in context.
Heat pumps bring together the building, heat distribution, hot water and controls. The useful starting point is the property and the system design, not a single box.

Start with what the building needs to do.
Heat pumps bring together the building, heat distribution, hot water and controls. The useful starting point is the property and the system design, not a single box. The right route will depend on the property, the project, the system design and the people who need to use it. Use this page as the start of a conversation, not as a definitive engineering recommendation.
