Smart heap pump control system

USA: The new Smart Heat Pump control system is designed to streamline the installation and operation of hydronic heat pumps in residential and light commercial applications.

The Tekmar control system can operate up to four heat pumps in either 2-pipe or 4-pipe configurations, with the ability to expand control to 16 heat pumps through optional modules. 

It supports simultaneous heating and cooling of buffer tanks in 4-pipe systems and integrates seamlessly with a backup boiler loop using the Tekmar Smart Boiler Control 294.

The controller also supports optional modules for mixing and diverting valves, enabling precise control of multiple zones and temperatures. Remote connectivity is built in through Watts’ intelligent water management platform Nexa, allowing users to monitor performance, adjust settings, and receive alerts from any location via web or mobile. 

Installation is simplified with guided setup and commissioning wizards, reducing complexity and saving time. Energy management features such as outdoor reset and programmable scheduling further enhance efficiency and reliability.
