The goal of the Midea showroom is to offer a unique opportunity for both HVAC professionals and consumers to get hands-on experience with the latest in heat-pump technology.
Traditional air-source heat pumps can provide reliable heating when outdoor temperatures are moderately cold. However, once the weather reaches subzero temperatures, heat pumps suffer a drastic loss of performance due to frost accumulation on their outdoor units.
Heat pumps from Bosch, Daikin, Midea, and Johnson Controls are moving to the next phase of the challenge, which involves installing and monitoring prototypes in cold-climate locations throughout the U.S. and Canada.
