High Temperature Heat Pumps for Space Heating

One of the key barriers to broader building electrification is the relatively low temperature water delivered by water-to-water heat pumps.  Perish the thought (!) says these manufactures who have electric heat pumps that take on the delivery temperatures typically reserved for fossil fuel boilers. High temperature space heating delivery systems can be left in place, and there's likely capacity to spare to make some domestic hot water while you're at it.
