Dual Source Heat Pumps

Air Source Mode:

Pulls heat from the outside air during milder conditions.


Water Source Mode:

Pulls heat from utilities like chillers, cooling towers, air compressors etc.


Ground Source Mode:

Switches to ground loop heating during colder months or when air temperatures drop.


Smart Control System:

Monitors energy efficiency and selects the most effective mode in real-time.


Dual Source Heat Pumps are advanced systems designed to provide reliable heating and cooling throughout the year. By intelligently switching between air, water, or ground sources, these units maximize energy efficiency, reduce operational costs, and maintain optimal hot water supply even in challenging conditions.

What Is a Dual Source Heat Pump?

A dual source heat pump combines the best of both air source, water source and ground source (geothermal) technologies. By switching between the air and water as heat sources, it optimizes energy efficiency and delivers consistent hot water — even in extreme temperatures.
