Here are the key components and considerations you should look when choosing the best HVAC Hydronic system for your home:
1. APOLLO Air-to-Water Heat Pump:
• Function: The heart of a modern HVAC Hydronic system is the heat pump. These devices have the capacity to provide heating during the winter and cooling during the summer. As well has heat your pool and support with year round hot water for your home.
• Considerations:
* Look for energy-efficient models like the APOLLO Heat Pump, which reduces energy costs up to 40%.
* Consider the unit's capacity (measured in BTUs) based on your home size and the climate where you live.
2. Hydro Smart Station:
• Function: The hydro smart station is one of the main component of a hydronic system.
It simplifies the entire process by interconnecting other components of the hydronic system with the heat pump, such as:
- Fan Coil Units
- Buffer Tank
- Smart Thermostat
- Pool & Spa Heat Exchanger
- Pex Manifold.
• Considerations:
* Ensure proper sizing and compatibility with your Air-to-Water Heat Pump.
* Look for features like integrated controls and easy maintenance.
3. Buffer Tank:
• Function: Buffer tanks store both the Domestic Hot Water and the water for an efficient heat exchange in all components of the hydronic system.
• Considerations:
* Select a tank size based on your household's hot water needs.
* Check the insulation in walls and windows of your home to minimize heat loss due leaks.
4. Fan Coil Units (Wall or Floor Mounted):
• Function: These indoor units are responsible for distributing hot or cold air throughout your home.
• Considerations:
* Opt for variable-speed fan coils for precise temperature control and quiet operation.
* Choose between wall-mounted or floor-mounted units based on your space and aesthetics.
5. Smart Thermostat:
• Function: Smart thermostats allow remote control and programming of each Fan Coil Unit and the Air-to-Water Thermostat by selecting the temperature as required.
• Considerations:
* Choose a model compatible with your HVAC Hydronic system (e.g., APOLLO-WiFi Fan Coil Thermostat and APOLLO-WiFi Radiant Floor Thermostat).
* Look for features like scheduling, geofencing, and energy reports.
6. Zone Valve Control Box:
• Function: Zone Valve Control Box regulates water flow of the hydronic system to different areas of your home.
• Considerations:
* Plan zones strategically (e.g., separate floors or rooms) for customized comfort.
* Ensure compatibility with your buffer tank and heat pump.
