How does an air-to-water heat pump work?
An air-to-water heat pump uses the heat energy from the outside air to heat water, which can be used for both heating and domestic hot water. The system consists of an outdoor unit that collects the heat from the outside air and an indoor unit that transfers the heat to the water. This process is not only efficient but also environmentally friendly, as it reduces the need for fossil fuels.
