Water source heat pumps are a type of air conditioner powered by a small amount of electricity.

These systems use the heat naturally available in water, rather than air, dramatically reducing the amount of other energy needed to heat or cool a building, typically by around 80%. As a result, water-source heat pumps provide affordable heating and cooling with a very small carbon footprint. This gives water-source heat pump projects a quick financial payback.

WSHP’s are ideal for high-rises, condominiums, apartment buildings, offices, schools and much more. Water source heat pumps have a much longer life span than traditional central air conditioning and heating split systems do, and they are much easier to service and maintain.

Water source heat pump owners can benefit from:

•  Lower energy consumption
•  A small carbon footprint
•  Provides both heating and cooling
•  Quiet, long-lasting operation

WSHP’s are not for everyone though. There are limitations to their ability to function properly and efficiently:

•  Requires a source of water nearby
•  Requires mains electricity power supply (same as any other heating system)
•  Requires environmental consents
