Air to Water Heat Pump - HYDRO SOLAR Brand

Heating and cooling shouldn't be complicated—or expensive. Our air to water heat pumps are built for real-world performance, offering a smarter, more efficient way to heat and cool your home or business.

Our air to water heat pump options offer energy-efficient solutions for heating and cooling. They transfer heat energy between outdoor and indoor spaces. Air to water heat pumps don’t just heat or cool the air like traditional air to air heat pumps, they use heat to regulate the temperature of water or a water-glycol mixture. That means radiant in-floor heating, low-temperature radiators, and domestic hot water production—all in one system. You get energy savings, precise temperature control, and quiet operation without the inefficiencies of older heating systems.

Air to Water Heat Pumps: Smart Energy Solutions for Every Season

Heating in the winter. Cooling in the summer. One system does it all.

Our air to water heat pump pulls heat from outdoor air and transfers it to a water or water-glycol mixture to warm your building in winter. This heated water can be circulated through hydronic systems for in-floor radiant heating, low-temperature radiators, or for producing hot water. In the summer, the system works in reverse, removing heat from your indoor space and transferring it outside for more cooled air in your building.

Our air source heat pumps offer a versatile, environmentally friendly solution, as they deliver consistent performance without the greenhouse gas emissions associated with oil or gas boiler installations.

Air to Water Heat Pump Configurations: Monoblock vs. Split

We offer two distinct configurations of our air to water heat pump: Monoblock and Split. Both are designed for efficient heating but serve different installation needs.

Monoblock Configuration

Our Monoblock configuration combines all components into one outdoor unit. This single-unit design simplifies installation, making it an ideal choice for users who prefer a more straightforward setup. 

Split Configuration

The Split configuration uses an indoor unit and outdoor units; the compressor and condenser are housed in the outdoor unit, while the refrigerant to water heat exchanger is in the outdoor unit. The two units are connected by refrigerant lines, which circulate a fluid that won’t freeze even in extreme cold. 

Both air source heat pump system configurations handle a broad range of operating temperatures and provide reliable performance year-round. More information about each configuration is shown in the below comparison table:

Environmentally Friendly Refrigerants

We take sustainability seriously. That’s why our heat pump technology keeps evolving to reduce environmental impact while improving efficiency.

Our second-generation heat pumps use R410a refrigerant, however, with our third-generation models, we have introduced R32 refrigerant, which has a lower global warming potential and operates in a wide temperature range, from -30°C to +45°C. By using R32, we lower the environmental footprint of our cold climate heat pumps without compromising performance.

Sustainable Comfort with Hydro Solar

Choosing a heating and cooling system is more than just a purchase—it’s an investment in comfort, efficiency, and long-term savings. The right choice depends on several factors: climate, available space, energy efficiency goals, and the specific heating and cooling demands of your home or business.

Do you need a residential heat pump for consistent warmth and cooling year-round? Would an air to water heat pump work best for your hydronic distribution system, or is an air source heat pump the better option? And what about geothermal systems—could they offer even greater efficiency?

Each system has its strengths. Air to water heat pumps provide precise temperature control and work seamlessly with radiant heating, low-temperature radiators, and domestic hot water systems. Air source heat pumps are well-suited for properties that rely on ducted air systems, while geothermal heat pumps offer unmatched efficiency but require space for ground loops.
