Air-to-water heat pumps are different from boilers. As the outdoor air temperature decreases, their heating output decreases. That’s a characteristic of all air-source heat pumps, and it runs opposite to how heating load changes with decreasing outdoor temperature. 

Last month, we reviewed the basics injection mixing. It’s a method for controlling water temperatures by regulating the flow of heated water “injected” into a circulating distribution system, while simultaneously removing an equal flow of cooler water from that distribution system. Any method that controls the rate of injection flow also controls the rate of heat transfer into the distribution system.

Designing and installing a system for the unique venue posed challenges that demanded meticulous attention to detail and coordination. It needed to accommodate visitor needs while blending with the building's rustic character. “Introducing modern mechanical systems without disrupting its historic charm was difficult,” said Selestow.

An owner, who has never been satisfied with the performance of his heating system, decides that the boiler must be the root cause of all the performance issues. Not wanting to spend any more than necessary, he makes several calls looking for the lowest boiler replacement price.

The system has been upgraded for greater versatility and performance.

Most heat pumps in North America extract heat from outside air to warm interiors, which is why we call them "air-to-air" heat pumps. However, this term is incomplete, as heat pumps can also provide comfort without relying on forced air delivery.
