How Do You Use Cold Weather Heat Pumps at Home?

Image
  Have you decided to invest in the best cold weather heat pumps? If so, you should look no further than Arctic Heat Pumps. You can use them for heating and cooling needs at home. Generally, these systems use a EcoULTRA Buffer Tank with backup heating element. The Arctic series heat pumps control the primary pump, selection of heating or cooling and switching of three way valve. Different demand zones like heating loops and cooling zones need their own pumps and controls. Arctic Heat Pumps can design the supply (heat pump) and the demand (radiant zones) for you at no extra cost. In addition, Arctic series cold weather heat pumps can be used for different applications at home. Different uses of Arctic Heat Pumps are discussed below: Radiant Heating and Residential Hot Water The buffer tank remains charged with hot water in this system. The water or glycol circulates as required through radiant floor loop around the house. There are zone temperature sensors in the sy...

Using Cold Weather Heat Pumps for Hot Tubs & Spas

Image
Are you looking for cold weather spa and pool heat pumps? You should look no further than Arctic series cold weather heat pumps . Heat pump technology is highly considered in the pool industry because of its enormous cost savings.  Most pool owners can save 70% or more from heat pumps in heating costs. But they have two major problems: The heat pumps work only in the pool swimming season. When the outdoor temperature goes down, they quickly lose their efficiency.  They offer output of upper 80 degrees – which is too cold for hot tub temperature.  This is where Arctic series cold climate heat pumps come in. They can work in temperatures as low as 20 F (-7 F). If you live in a climate that exceeds -7 F, then, you can consider installing the Hybrid Heat Pump at home. It includes a backup 5.5 Kw Balboa Spa Pack that will provide additional heating power when required.  Why Makes Arctic Heat Pumps Ideal for Cold Weather?  There are so many reasons why Arctic...

Reasons To Switch To Air Source Heat Pumps

Image
  Air source pumps cater as an alternative way to heat your house, and could be the perfect solution if you wish to produce your own heat and possibly save cash on your utility bills. How an air source heat pump work? An air source heat pump is generally installed outdoors at the back or side of a property. The pump requires electricity to operate, but it should employ less electrical energy than the heat it generates. There’re 2 main kinds of air source heat pumps: air-to-water & air-to-heat. The air source heat pump functions a bit like a refrigerator in reverse. The unit consists of a compressor, a condenser and an evaporator. The air source heat pump absorb heat from the external air into a liquid at a low temperature, then the heat pump compressor increases the temperature of that heat. In the condenser, the hot fluid’s heat is shifted to your heating & hot-water circuits. So you can employ it to warm up your house. The most noteworthy benefits of an...

What Makes Arctic Heat Pumps the Best Heat Pumps for Cold Climates

Image
  Are you looking for the revolutionary heat pump system? If yes, then Arctic Heat Pumps stand out from the rest. Generally, Arctic Heat Pumps are considered as one of the best heat pumps for cold climates. They are perfectly engineered to deliver higher energy efficiency at half of the price of a traditional geothermal heat pump. The heat pumps from Arctic Series come with variable speed pumps, European Sanhua Valves, Panasonic EVI DC Inverter Compressors, and Chico Digital Control System. All of them are harnessed directly into fully weatherproof housing. Why Do Arctic Heat Pumps Work Really Well on Cold Climates? Integrated Heating – Arctic Heat Pump can be able to control the entire heating and cooling needs including residential hot water. The heat pump can integrate with different heating sources like radiant floor heater or cooler, central air handlers for forced air, split fan coils for heating individual rooms, and low temperature radiators. You can in...

Significance of Heat Load Design Services for Radiant Floor Heating

Image
  Are you new to construction? Or just looking to retrofit an existing construction? Arctic Heat Pumps can help you through the entire design process and put together a complete integrated hydronic heating package from air to water heat pump to PEX piping and manifolds and everything in between. Understanding Heat Load Design Services When it comes to designing any HVAC project properly, it requires understanding the heating or cooling load. The heating load is the number of BTUs needed in the coldest days of the year in your area to keep the house at its design set point temperature. If you’ve an improperly sized system, your home doesn’t keep warm in very cold weather. Even if the heating equipment is overly sized, it will lead to additional upfront costs and higher monthly operational cost. Therefore, getting the right sizing is necessary. Heat Load Design of Radiant Floor Heating System When it comes to designing radiant floor heating system, Arctic Heat Pump...

How To Make The Most Of Your Heat Pump

Installing a heat pump is the best thing you can do to ensure you’ve the most capable technology to fulfill your home’s heating & cooling requirements. Making proper use of your heat pump and maintaining it regularly will assure you get the best performance out of it while enjoying great saving in your utility bills.  Listed below are a few tips on how to make the most of your heat pump. Don’t use “Auto” Mode: Rather than “Automatic” mode, set the heat pump mode to “cool” during the summer and “Heat” in the winter. Automatic mode will not wait for any command to switch between cooling and heating according to indoor temperatures. Your heat pump could start heating on a cool summer night or start cooling on a sunny winter afternoon. As soon as you find a comfy temperature setting on either “cool” or “heat” mode, you can set it and enjoy maximum efficiency. Give regular maintenance & inspection a priority: Regular upkeep & inspection will make sure your heat pump Ma...

Why Choose Inverter Heat Pump OverA Fixed Output Unit

Image
Installing a heat pump is a major decision that most homeowners need to consider carefully. When it comes to installing a heat pump, the main question that may come to your mind whether to install a heat pump with an inverter drive unit or a fixed output. What’s the difference between a fixed output and inverter heat pump ? The difference between these two types of heat pumps lies in how they supply the energy required from the heat pump to fulfill the heating requirements of a property. A fixed output heat pump functions by unceasingly either being turned on or tuned off. When turned on, a fixed output heat pump runs at 100 percent ability to fulfil your heating requirement. It’ll continue to do this until the heat demand is fulfilled. However, an inverter heat pump employs an adjustable speed compressor which curbs its output by increasing or reducing its speed to match exactly the heat needs of the property as the outdoor air temperature changes. When the heat d...
