Innovative Solutions in Heat Pump Water Heating
Reliable Heat Pump Water Heating for Modern Buildings from Colmac WaterHeat
HIGHMARK is the official representative of Colmac WaterHeat in New York City and New Jersey, providing innovative, energy-saving solutions for domestic and industrial hot water systems. Colmac heat pump water heaters leverage advanced technology to deliver high-efficiency, sanitary hot water at temperatures up to 185 °F in a single pass—using just a fraction of the energy compared to traditional electric resistance or fossil-fuel systems. This makes them an ideal fit for projects focused on performance, cost savings, and sustainability.
Colmac WaterHeat specializes in high-performance heat pump water heaters that are safe for potable water systems, thanks to double-wall vented condensers that isolate refrigerant from water. These systems create built-in HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point) protection—effectively eliminating Legionella risk without the need for UV or chemical treatment.
Their systems offer exceptional energy savings with typical Coefficients of Performance (COPs) between 4 and 6—meaning they operate up to 600% more efficiently than the most efficient boilers. Colmac units also smartly recover waste heat from HVAC systems (like cooling towers or exhaust air), further boosting efficiency and potentially delivering cash-flow positive hot water production.
By combining Colmac WaterHeat’s high-efficiency heat pump technology with HIGHMARK’s local expertise, clients gain access to hot water systems that reduce energy use, ensure safety, and support electrification and sustainability goals in NYC and NJ buildings — all backed by long-term reliability and innovative design.
