BRIEF HISTORY:
This patent was awarded because of the unit`s ability to transfer 100% of a buildings unwanted heat (during the cooling cycle) into the buildings hot water tanks. During the past 40 years we learned in many cases we could produce 100% of a buildings hot water at no cost during the summer and at a very low cost in the winter. In order for this to occur it is important that our priority water heating system be installed on a unit that does a lot of cooling, during both summer and winter. Normally a unit that provides heating and cooling for a kitchen or an internal area of the building will work best. If hot water heating is needed when no cooling is being done that’s also okay. Our patented priority system will turn itself on in the water-heating mode and produce hot water at approximately one fourth of the normal cost of heating water. It is only recently that other manufacturers have devised ways to capture the energy that many heating and air conditioning units simply waste.

Innovation has been what has set Hydro-Temp apart along the way. That is why we continue to lead the geothermal industry forward even today. Listed below are some of Hydro-Temp "firsts":

First Unit with full condensing hot water recovery
First "Two-Speed" Geothermal Unit on the Market
First "Multi-Stage" Geothermal Unit on the Market
First Geothermal Unit with a "Integrated Zoning System"
First "Variable Speed" Geothermal Unit on the Market

Hydro-Temp has worked with many utility companies all over the United States. The company has been involved in research-related projects with organizations such as the Tennessee Valley Authority, The Electric Power Research Institute, and The National Rural Electric Cooperative Association as well as state wide organizations like Arkansas Electric Cooperatives, Associated Electric Cooperative in Missouri, and Western Massachusetts Electric. As a manufacturer of earth coupled heat pumps, Hydro-Temp Corporation has dealers and distributors throughout the United States. Hydro-Temp’s sister company, Air-Flo Company, is a licensed mechanical contractor in Arkansas, Missouri, Tennessee, Mississippi and Alabama.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
Hydro-Temp is constantly “custom building” new and unique units for its customers across the United States. Many of these new units are not shown on this website. If you have a unique application, there is a good chance we have already built a unit similar to what you need. Give us a call, and we’ll be glad to discuss your application with you.
