Condo Heat pump System performs different from traditional air-source heat pump in residential homes. Residential Heat pumps have to have two systems connected; one indoor & one outdoor (condenser). They can be either paired with central gas or electric furnace or they can be paired with with individual indoor air handling for space cooling or heating.
These HVAC systems are also known as Water Source Heat Pump Systems. These systems have no requirement to have an outdoor condenser connected. They provide all year around heating & cooling using water as medium for rejecting or absorbing heat.
Water Source Heat Pumps use the building water loop system to dissipate and extract the heat during refrigeration cycles. In the air source heat pump, this cycle happens via the outdoor heat pump unit, where the fan dissipates the heat into the air.

Condo Heat Pump Systems are located inside a closet or through the wall in a cabinet space. The heat pump’s electrical & mechanical compartments are accessible through an access panel door.
Although condo water source heat pump units are individual HVAC systems, they are connected to the building’s common elements Plumbing, Boiler, Cooling Tower, Heat Exchangers & Pumps. Each heat pump is designed to operate within a specific water temperature & flow range. Low or inadequate water flow or temperature can result in heat pump malfunction, such as intermediate shutdowns & resets. Therefore, replacing your heat pump with another manufacturer may not always be a good idea since your building has specific designs and requirements for each apartment.
