Heat Pumps For Cold Climates

Heat pump technology has been highly adopted in the pool industry for its significant cost savings. Most pool heat pumps can save pool owners over 70% in heating costs. But, these heat pumps have two main problems:

1. These heat pumps work during the swimming pool season and lose their efficiency quickly as the outdoor temperature minimizes.
2. Their output is over 80 degrees – which is too cold for hot tub temperature.

Until now most spa owners adapt standard electric heating systems. But nowadays electricity is becoming more and more expensive and will continue to go further. However, the Arctic series air source heat pump  comes in three sizes.

The smaller SPA-025ZA is perfect to use for hot tub and spa owners. The heat pump produces 9KW – high temperature rating and 5KW – low temperature rating of heat energy. This smaller heat pump can deliver the temperature rating in temperatures as low as 20 F (-7C). It provides homeowners with operational cost savings over ordinary spa heaters.
