NorAire®

Heat Pump Boiler – NC-FE Heat/Cool Series

At 200% efficient, the NorAire Air Source Heat Pump Boiler is one of the most economical ways to supply heated water to your radiant floor heat system and chilled water to a forced air system with one unit. (How It Works) Combining a modern air source heat pump and our patented WarmFlo® technology with an optional built-in backup electric boiler, the NorAire can be sized to meet the full heat load of your home regardless of your climate at much higher efficiencies than traditional heating systems. The NorAire system can also use an air source heat pump to chill water to be distributed via hydronic fan coils or a furnace/air handler with chilled water coil to effectively cool and dehumidify your home.

Features

  • Easy installation for the trained professional
  • WarmFlo temperature control, monitors and anticipates the BTU needs of your home
  • Built-in electric boiler backup for really cold days

  • Coaxial heat exchanger for highly efficient heat transfer from refrigerant to water

Applications

  • Primary heat source for your home, garage, or workshop with fan coil cooling
  • Multi-family housing
  • Patio homes
  • Net Zero and Passive homes
  • Greenhouses

Our Premium Air Source Heat Pump Boiler – How It Works

Air source heat pumps have the ability to take advantage of free outside energy in the air, and bring it inside to heat and cool your home.  Using the refrigerant vapor cycle, the NorAire system transfers the outside energy to water, which is efficiently distributed throughout your radiant floor heating systems.

The NorAire utilizes the “split refrigerant” process. The free energy from the outside air is transferred into refrigerant at the outdoor condenser. Using the refrigerant vapor cycle, the refrigerant becomes a high pressure gas which is easily moved to the inside of your home. A coaxial heat exchanger within the boiler cabinet continues the process by receiving the high pressure gas and exchanging its energy with the water circulating throughout your hydronic system.

With very little energy “wasted” in the process of capturing and transferring the energy to your floors, the NorAire system will yield an average annual operating efficiency of over 200%. This is over twice the efficiency of any fossil fuel boiler system. This level of efficiency, combined with a competitive electric rate, gives you a clean, safe, and economical choice for your home’s heating system.
