Water Coils for Air-to-Water Heat Pump Systems

Posted by Mark Mahon on March 11, 2025 at 9:20 AM

Choosing the Right Coil to Optimize Your System’s Performance

Air-to-water heat pump systems are highly efficient HVAC solutions, but optimizing their performance depends on addressing key factors – most notably, the hot water supply temperature (HWST). And when these heat pumps are paired with a VAV distribution system, it’s especially critical to select the correct coil configuration.
