As a hydronic system,  the RAAF air-to-water heat pump uses water as the method of heat transfer, which is more efficient than systems that use air as the method of heat transfer. This is because heat transfer happens 2.5x more easily in water than in air and can retain that heat 4x better than air can. For detailed performance data, you can click here or send us a message.

It is! Because RAAF heat pumps utilize electricity and naturally occurring energy, this means there is no need for combustion-producing fuels such as gas or propane, and therefore no harmful emissions.

It isn’t the only option, but it is the most cost effective and all-encompassing.

It's much cheaper than a ground-loop geothermal system and unlike most heat pumps, it is capable of heating and cooling every aspect of your home including domestic water, floors, etc.

The efficiency of a heat pump decreases as outdoor temperatures decrease. For this reason, they are most suitable in homes that are better able to retain heat and maximize the efficiency of the unit. This generally means homes that are tightly built, well insulated and/or have plans in place for floor warming. Homes with low heat loss are also ideal candidates.

We offer free consultation services to help determine if RAAF is right for you. Send us a message with as much detail as possible on your home's design, heat loss, approximate location, and any heating plans you have. If RAAF isn't the right system for you, we will gladly set you up with one of our trusted HVAC partners to assist you with a different system. And if you don't have HVAC or heat loss plans yet, don't sweat, we can help you with that too!
