Designed with high temperature output capacities of 90 to 250 kW, KWT heat pumps are ideal for new installations or retrofits in larger residential complexes and commercial operations. They are typically used to recover natural heat – such as solar energy stored in the ground or in groundwater – which is used for efficient domestic hot water and space heating. These natural heating solutions only require electricity to drive the pumps, offering a cost-effective, environmentally friendly alternative to fossil fuels.

Based in Elmira, Ontario, Canada, NextEnergy Inc. is a leading provider of innovative geothermal energy solutions and equipment. The company has completed more than 250,000 installations across North America since 1998 and offers a full range of services including commercial and residential system design and installation, consulting, project management and sales and marketing.
