Heat pumps have really come a long way. I’m planning on installing an air-to-water heat pump for hot water on demand as well as powering in floor heating. I’m going to pair it with an air-to-air heat pump to provide instant temperature increases if desired and cooling during the summer

Within the past 2 years, 3 of our neighbors have installed that, and they are all very happy with it.
It’s expensive to install, but well worth it in the long run.
We are planning on air to water too, but we don’t have floor heating yet, so which to do first, or all at once? IDK?

What I’ll probably try to do is install the AtA heat pump first. Then I’ll do the plumbing for the in floor heat and hot water on demand before doing the AtW heat pump. After that i might upgrade my floors to something with better thermal mass. I’m gonna do as much work as i can myself. I’ve only got a 600 sqft floor to heat and I’m just gonna install pipes under floors from the unfinished basement/crawlspace. The I’ll seaI the basement with professionally done spray foam.
