Does anyone know anything about HVAC units manufactured by Fireless Furnace, Inc.,manufactured in Fullerton, CA? Saw one today, no problem with it, but I’m just curious. The system had an A/C compressor, with an air handler inside of a closet. (Difficult to access). At first I thought it was a heat pump, but then I saw two water lines, one in and one out, like the type that are used to heat flooring. The crazy thing was, when I turned the heat thermostat up, I felt heat coming out of the forced air registers. Not sure what was going on here, but since I had heat and I had cool, I was’t too concerned about it. Just want to learn a little bit more.

Sounds like a water powered heat pump using underground water . Depending on you area the water should be about 50 + degrees. It works similar to an air heat pump but much more efficiently . They use a liquid in the lines ( Salt water I think and it goes in a continuos circle from down in the ground )

GoeThermal Heat Pump. They work much better that conventional heat pumps in colder weather because the water in the lines stays a constant temperature all year.

A GeoThermal Heat Pump makes sense. The only thing that causes me doubt is that this is in a townhouse with a relatively small backyard, but I suppose it’s possible. I’m just surprised to see it here.
