Water Source Heat Pump Manufacturers
In 1915 an engineer by the name of Willis “Bill” Carrier began developing 
heat pumps. Over time the Carrier engineers determined that water was a superior source for heat transfer and in the early 50′s began experimenting in transferring heat from water using the heat pump technology. In the early 80′s a smaller company, Florida Heat Pump and Waterfurnace, began development in water based heat pumps utilizing a far superior closed loop water system as a heat sync in either a vertical well bore or horizontal loop field.
