Dedicated hot water generation
The York® Affinity Hydronic with OptiHeat technology is our geothermal solution for boiler replacement. Capable of delivering up to 145°F leaving hot water, this system is perfect for baseboard radiator systems, underfloor radiant applications, overfloor radiant applications, and fan coils.
Efficiency
Geothermal heat pumps are much more efficient than traditional heating and cooling systems. The York Affinity Hydronic with OptiHeat Vapor Injection technology is rated with an efficient 16.1 EER and 3.3 COP.
Safe
No combustion or flames are used to operate a geothermal heat pump, making it a safe choice for your home and family. Our systems merely move heat to and from the ground rather than by burning natural gas, propane, or oil.
Cost effective
Geothermal heat pumps are so efficient that any added cost over traditional equipment is usually recovered in just a few years. And because they have a lifespan of 20-25 years, your investment will last longer and your return on investment will grow year by year.
Environmentally responsible
Since our units don’t burn expensive, polluting fossil fuels, they’re the most environmentally responsible options available today. Utilizing geothermal can minimize acid rain threats, air pollution, and the greenhouse effect.
Comfortable
A York Affinity Hydronic with OptiHeat provides consistent comfortable heating when used in radiant floor applications and is also perfect for use with hydronic fan coils in a ducted installation.
Affordable peace of mind
York® Affinity™ Hydronic with OptiHeat units come with warranties up to 10 years for parts and labor allowances. Other options are available, so see your York® Contractor for details.
OptiHeat Vapor Injection
This technology incorporates an additional heat exchanger that diverts excess heat and reinjects it into the system. This creates exiting water temperatures of up to 145°F and optimum compressor operating conditions. Smaller loads are required and result in the ultimate in efficiency.
Aurora Advanced Controls
Communicating Aurora controls simplify diagnosis and setup by utilizing the Aurora Interface Diagnostic (AID) Tool. Aurora Controls offer two-way communication between components, smart operating logic, and robust troubleshooting capabilities.
IntelliStart®
This optional soft starter reduces start-up amperage by 60% of normal draw to reduce noise, eliminate light flicker, and increase compressor life.
Compressor
High efficiency scroll compressors are used with vapor injection technology. All compressors are double isolation mounted for extra quiet operation.
Field Switchable Control Box
The Affinity Hydronic with OptiHeat can be oriented in two different ways so your dealer can move the control box if needed for your home. This increased versatility makes the system more accessible and easier to install and service.
Insulated Coaxial Heat Exchangers
Affinity™ Hydronic heat exchangers are coated with foam insulation which increases both the efficiency and the consistency of our heat exchangers. Robotic application ensures an even, airtight seal.
