Why Choose an Air-to-Water Heat Pump Over the Alternatives for Your Home or Business?
What type of heating system does your space current have? If you are looking to buy a home, have you paid attention to the type of heating system each house has? Do you have a plot of land with plans to build a residential or commercial space, but haven’t ironed out the heating system? At Oregon Hydronics Plumbing, Heating & Air, we install and maintain your air-to-water heat pump!
As a homeowner, the best solution for your home is going to be durable, efficient, and effectively supply heat throughout your house. Air-to-water heat pumps fit that criteria, as the most energy-efficient heating solution, which also makes it cost effective long-term due to its efficiency. Whether your home is large, small, or somewhere in between, air-to-water heat pumps deliver heat equally to each room in your home so you don’t have to worry about the farthest room in the house being the coldest.

Will it Work in Oregon During the Colder Months?
Short answer – Yes.
Not all air-to-water heat pumps are made the same, and there are units designed to accommodate colder climates so the unit‘s efficiency does not drop with the temperature of the outside air.
How it Works
An air-to-water heating system pulls in air from outside a home/building. The heat from the air is absorbed by the system which then compresses the heat to increase temperature. There is an exchange process transferring the heat to water, and that heated water circulates through your heating system. The process is broken down below, including how the system cools down to restarts.
- Extract: The pump extracts heat from the outside air into the system.
- Absorb: The heat must be absorbed into a refrigerant.
- Compress: The system compresses the refrigerant the hot air was absorbed into to increase its temperature.
- Exchange: The heated refrigerant is passed through an exchanger in the system to perform the transfer of heat from refrigerant to water.
- Distribute: The heated water is circulated throughout your space via its heating system (I.e., radiator, floor vents).
- Cool and Expand: Before the refrigerant can absorb more heat, it must first cool, which allows it to expand, and the cycle starts again.
Air-to-water heat pumps use a more efficient process to heat your commercial space by moving heat rather than generating it. More efficiency means the heating solution is cost-effective with the added benefit of being eco-friendly.
The benefits of an air-to-water heat pump system include:
- Eco-conscious heating solution
- Efficient and cost effective method for heating your home or business
- Hearty lifespan of up to 20 years
