What is Water Source Heat Pumps?

Water source heat pumps (WSHPs) use water as a heat source in heating mode and as a heat sink in cooling mode. They can tap into groundwater, surface water (lakes or ponds), or closed-loop systems. They are highly efficient and can be used for both residential and commercial buildings, providing heating, cooling, and sometimes domestic hot water. WSHPs are often used in buildings where multiple units can be connected to a common water loop, allowing for heat redistribution within the building.
