Zone heat pumps reject heat to, or draw heat from, a shared water loop. Units in cooling add heat to the loop that units in heating can use.
A typical boiler/tower loop holds water in a moderate band, adding heat with a boiler and rejecting heat with a closed-circuit cooler or a tower and heat exchanger. Ground-source (geothermal) loops exchange heat with the earth instead. Units are console, horizontal ceiling or vertical closet configurations, usually with a separate ventilation system. Loop flow, water treatment, unit isolation valves and access for filter and coil service drive long-term performance.

Manufacturers design, build and test equipment. Distributors supply equipment, quotations, parts and order support. Manufacturer reps support selections, specifications and represented product lines; some also distribute. Categories overlap only where supported by official sources.
Example paths, not guaranteed promotions or current openings.
Set units, connect hose kits and loop piping, install isolation and flow-control valves, and coordinate condensate and ductwork.
