ZEBx Tech Demo #11: The Hisense Hi-Comfort Dual-Purpose Heat Pump

As energy efficiency and carbon pollution become a standard consideration for new and existing buildings, the supply chain is responding with new and innovative products that make energy-efficient and climate-friendly buildings more achievable than ever. One of the newest products that is now available to BC's building industry is the Hisense Hi-Comfort series, air-to-air R32 heat pumps. They can simultaneously produce domestic hot water (227 L hybrid electric hot water tank) while heating or cooling a house or condo. As with most heat pumps on the market today, they can extract heat out of -25 C air, negating the need for any supplemental heating in the warmer climate zones of BC. The unit has a 100% heating capacity at -15 C with a maximum CoP of 2.5. It has a SEER2 rating of up to 23 and a HSPF2 rating of 11 (higher when in heat recovery mode).
