Heat Pumps For Cold Climates

There’s a huge availability of heat pumps on the market. Nowadays air-to-water heat pumps are gaining immense popularity. Unlike other heat pumps, the Arctic heat pump uses the air-to-water principles. This hydronic heat pump provides so many benefits over conventional air-to-air heat pumps. The water heater can deliver quality energy storage through its buffer tank. 

Though the heat pumps store heat energy, they can be distributed to any source you want like residential hot water, heating and cooling fans, finned radiators, hydronic in-floor heating, air handlers, pools, and hot tubs. This means you can expect heating and cooling benefits from this one heat pump. It will save around 60-75% as compared to traditional heaters. The comfort of this heat pump system is superior to forced air as it’s much cleaner, quiet and affordable enough to operate. 

This Arctic heat pump is able to cover your heating needs up to -30C (-22F). Depending on the location you’re living in, there could be a few years in a year colder than this operational temperature. That’s why you will be provided with a backup heating element inside the EcoUltra buffer tanks. 

If the temperature of the water goes below the low-temperature set point, the heat pump will switch on the backup heater automatically to provide only the additional required energy. On average, the winter temperature goes below -30C in the most northern communities throughout North America. This means everyone is able to use this heat pump with very little backup power ever required. 

Take a look at the reasons why you should invest in Arctic air to water heat pumps:

Faster Heating and Cooling –

When there’s a big difference between the actual temperature and the programmed temperature, the Arctic heat pump unit can operate at a higher frequency to increase or decrease temperature faster, ensuring more comfort. 

Intelligent Defrosting –

Cold climate heat pumps with traditional defrosting methods utilize a start time and temperature. Upon attaining the ambient temperature or lower than -7C, the unit will start defrosting. It results in wastage of energy as it will defrost no matter whether the system requires it or not. 

Energy Savings –

The heat pump uses the EVI DC inverter compressors, brushless DC fan motors and PFC control. This unit is capable of regulating its power output more accurately. It won’t require any starting capacitor and can start and stop softly. You can adjust its speeds to accommodate different conditions. This results in 70% less operational cost as compared to other air source heat pumps. 

Precise Temperature Control –

The Arctic air to a water heat pump can change the compressor’s operational frequency automatically according to the heating or cooling requirements. Upon reaching the target temperature, this unit operates at a lower frequency ensuring much more precise temperature control.
