tekmar, a Watts brand, has announced the launch of the new Smart Heat Pump Control System, designed to streamline the installation and operation of hydronic heat pump systems. This controller offers flexibility and efficiency for residential and light commercial applications. The Smart Heat Pump Control System operates up to four heat pumps in either 2-pipe or 4-pipe configurations, with the ability to expand control to 16 heat pumps through optional modules. It supports simultaneous heating and cooling of buffer tanks in 4-pipe systems and integrates with a backup boiler loop using the tekmar Smart Boiler Control 294.

The Smart Heat Pump Control System works with most heat pumps and thermostats and can be expanded to manage up to 16 heat pumps using optional expansion modules. The controller also supports optional modules for mixing and diverting valves, enabling precise control of multiple zones and temperatures. Remote connectivity is built in through Nexa, allowing users to monitor performance, adjust settings, and receive alerts from any location via web or mobile. Installation is simplified with guided Setup and Commissioning Wizards, reducing complexity and saving time. Energy management features such as outdoor reset and programmable scheduling further enhance efficiency and reliability.
