The availability of heat pumps allows designers and installers of hydronic heating to include cooling. A simple method involves using a single air handler with a chilled water coil for a ducted distribution system, providing single zone cooling that can complement multi-zone hydronic heating in average houses.
In an effort to "bring innovative heat pump technologies directly to homeowners," Midea has partnered with AAA AC Supplies Inc. to open the first Midea-branded showroom, training center and distribution facility in Florida.
