Rooftop Air Source Heat Pumps

What is a Rooftop Air Source Heat Pump?

Rooftop Air Source Heat pumps warm or cool your business by moving heat from one area to another. Located on the roof of your business, they are able to extract heat from the outside air even when it’s cold.

A heat pump can heat and cool your business using much less energy than electric resistance rooftop systems. That’s because the process involves moving heat that already exists rather than generating it.
