The Best Solutions Come in Easy-to-Use Packages

December 1, 2023 By Building Potential staff

Packaged systems offer all the benefits without the complexity.

Central heat pump water heater (CHPWH) systems serve the domestic hot water needs of a building in one central plant. Though they have become a key decarbonization technology by reducing greenhouse gas emissions and saving energy and costs, their complex design and installation requirements can pose barriers to widespread adoption.

Packaged CHPWH systems reduce this complexity by simplifying design and installation. With pre-made sizes based on storage capacity, packaged systems reduce the need for plumbing and electrical site work to minimize complexity for designers, installers, and maintenance staff, while offering flexibility to meet unique site conditions. Even with all this significant added value, packaged solutions are often cheaper to install than non-packaged CHPWH systems.
