The indoor heat pump unit, whether a water-to-air air handler or a water-to-water unit feeding a hydronic system, is sized against the loop field’s heat exchange capacity and your home’s actual BTU demand. A mismatch in either direction reduces system efficiency and increases wear on the compressor and loop pump. We arrange an altitude-adjusted load calculation before any unit is specified, so the equipment selection reflects Denver’s elevation and your home’s real heating and cooling loads.
Installation connects the unit to the loop field’s supply and return lines, integrates with existing ductwork or hydronic distribution, and sets up controls and thermostat wiring. The written scope covers each of these connection points in advance, so there are no surprises on installation day. Every connection is pressure-tested before the system is charged, confirming the loop interface is sealed and ready for commissioning.
Commissioning measures supply air temperature or water temperature against the unit’s rated output at Denver’s altitude. The installer records BTU delivery at the design conditions specified in the load calculation. That figure, along with the unit specification and connection details, goes into the written project close-out documentation you receive when the job is complete.
