[Equest-users] Water Loop Heat Pumps

[Karen Walkerman]

Where does the heat come from if the water to air heat pumps need to heat?

What do you mean by: "I set the boiler to 0 capacity, but the results for
heating seem a little low"???  What seems low?  Energy use?  Indoor
temperatures?  Out of range hours?
