By now, most of you have either installed inverter-driven variable speed heat pumps that can deliver their nominal rating output at temperatures well below 0° F without any backup heat source, or at least have become familiar with the technology. 

The heating output and coefficient of performance (COP) of any hydronic heat pump is very dependent on the water temperature leaving the heat pump’s condenser. 

Amvic’s Ampex hydronic radiant panel combines rigid insulation, a vapor barrier and a PEX tubing locking mechanism into a single solution for both residential and commercial applications, the company states.
