Innovative Heat Pump Technology

Heat pumps have improved and evolved considerably since gaining acceptance as home heating systems in the 1970’s. These air source heat pumps provided single zone heating in climates with mild winter temperatures. Today there are water source heat pumps, variable refrigerant flow heat pumps, and multi-zone heat pumps. Today’s heat pump has improved efficiency and operates at lower outside air temperatures. This interactive online course will examine the latest heat pump technologies and the multitude of applications for this flexible and efficient technology.
