Heat pumps are an extremely efficient way to heat and cool, but for all the systems you are looking at you will certainly need separate units. Here are some of our pages on heat pumps that can help steer you in the right direction –

We don’t have anything on heat pump clothes dryers, but what we do know is that they certainly do take their time to accomplish their task. And we really couldn’t speak to the value, it’s a great concept but they certainly are expensive. We did install a condensing dryer in our recent LEED Platinum prefab kit house; we weren’t thrilled with the performance, it’s a bit quicker than the heat pump dryer but it will still take hours. Another great concept, but given the sticker price compared to the value they add, we are not certain we’d do that again.
do you have any reaction to the Arctic hydronic heat pumps that combine Hvac and hot water?
