Our custom-engineered, package solutions deliver high-efficiency heating, cooling and hot water generation.
Armstrong heat pumps provide a fundamental solution for superior thermal efficiency, de-steaming, and decarbonization by reclaiming your wasted heat and putting it to work where you need it most—as a replacement for purchased fuel. Whether your goal is cutting energy costs, reaching net zero, or both, Armstrong heat pump packages provide a comprehensive, integrated solution that will carry you into the future.

Our Heat Pump Packages Are a Crucial Step in Reaching Your Net-Zero Goal
Armstrong heat pumps provide a higher COP while consuming only half the electrical power of a simple electric steam boiler or hot water generator. In addition to recovering wasted heat, our heat pumps offer an efficient solution for using shallow geothermal or water from rivers, lakes, or even sewage, as a heat source. The Armstrong heat pump is an essential component in Circular Thermal®, the heart of Armstrong’s Decarbonization Methodology.
Armstrong Heat Pumps Are at the Heart of Thermal Decarbonization
Armstrong heat pumps allow reuse of low-temperature heat (< 60°C [140°F]) that is rejected by process and cooling systems and currently wasted in most industrial plants. Through the refrigeration cycle of the heat pump, hot water temperature is increased at relatively high levels—up to 120°C (248°F). Using waste heat in the production of hot water for high-temperature cleaning or process applications replaces steam or hot water currently generated by burning fossil fuels, which can significantly reduce primary energy use by light industry facilities.
Our Heat Pumps are an economical way to generate thermal heat when efficiency (COP) exceeds the price ratio of renewable electricity to fossil fuel.
Consuming fossil fuel will no longer be an option for companies willing to decarbonize thermal generation, so recovering their waste heat becomes a must. Compared to other renewable alternatives, the impact of Armstrong heat pumps (fueled by renewable electricity) on reducing CO2 emissions makes tackling the thermal decarbonization challenge easier and more economical.
No time to waste.
The recovery of low-grade waste heat will be one of the most significant contributors to energy efficiency, thus facilitating the thermal decarbonization challenge the world is facing. Armstrong heat pump packages are the solution for significantly decreasing the primary energy consumption of plants. Thermal decarbonization is achievable—safely, reliably, and economically.

Tailor-Made for Your Industry and Requirements
Your Armstrong heat pump will be an integrated, package solution that’s built for your specific project and application. We understand that every facility is different, so Armstrong’s specialists will conduct the engineering studies necessary to determine the best configuration to address your unique needs.
The result will be a complete, integrated package that may include heat pump, secondary water heater, mixing station with digital recirculating valve, buffer tank, flow and BTU meters, COP monitoring system, recirculation pump skid, secondary heat exchanger skid, heat pump housing, power and control panel, and more.
Higher Than 100% Efficiency
In a steam or electrical heating system, the amount of heat produced is a portion of the energy consumed to produce it, so efficiency is less than 100%. The Armstrong heat pump extracts wasted heat from a heat source (chilled water / cooling tower water / any consistent waste heat) and raises the temperature to a useful level. Because the amount of heat produced is not dependent on the amount of energy consumed, efficiency can surpass 100%.
