Utilizing the industry leading EVI (Enhanced Vapor Injection) compressors with DC variable speed input, AHP’s heat pumps are able to operate continuously in weather as low as -30 C (-22F). Not only will their heat pumps heat your home, but they can also cool your home or pool in the summer, while still providing heat for domestic hot water or pools and hot tubs. Arctic Heat pumps are both heaters and chillers in one unit!

The efficiency of a heat pump is measured in COP, which is a ratio of energy input vs. energy output. EVI DC Inverter compressors provide the absolute highest COP in the industry. Even at -20 C (-5F), their heat pumps have a COP greater than 2. This effectively means for every 1 Kw of energy the heat pump consumes, it is able to produce 2 Kw of Heat energy. This is effectively cutting your heating cost in half. However, most homeowners do not live at a constant -25 C (-15F), and their heat pumps get more efficient the warmer it gets! At freezing temp (0C / 32F) their heat pumps have a COP of 3.5. This means that for every 1 Kw of input power you can produce 3.5 Kw of Heating energy, reducing your heating bill by 70%!

Arctic Heat Pumps’ cold climate heat pump uses an air-to-water principle. A hydronic heat pump has many advantages over conventional air-to-air heat pumps. The water heating system units can provide superior energy storage through a buffer tank. By storing the heat energy, they can distribute it to any source they want, such as domestic hot water, heating and cooling fans, finned radiators, hydronic in-floor heating, air handlers, pools, and hot tubs. This means that one heat pump system can provide all the heating and cooling your home requires at a savings of 60%-75% compared to traditional heating systems. The comfort of hydronic heating has always been superior to forced air as it is cleaner, quiet, and more cost-effective to operate.

AHP will cover your heating needs down to -30C (-22F). Depending on where you are living there could be a few days of the year colder than this operating temperature. This is why we provide a backup heating element inside their EcoUltra buffer tanks. If the water drops below the low-temperature set point, the heat pump will automatically turn on the backup heater to help deliver only the added energy needed.
