	A hydronic system refers to the most common type of heating systems that uses heated water, which is then circulated through pipes to warm a building via a network of radiators, baseboard heaters, radiant floor systems etc. Hydronic heat pumps are effectively the correct name for what is commonly referred to as a standard heat pump system, although in reality there are a number of of different possible heat pump typologies such as air to air, air to water, ground to water etc..

−	Hydronic heat pump system use the heat pump to pulls thermal energy from the outside air (or the ground, for example in ground-source systems) using a refrigerant to transfer and move that heat. The heat extracted in that refrigerant is then transferred to a heat exchanger, where the heat is transferred to the water ( he hydronic element). The heated water can then be stored in a buffer tank for use directly as hot water or indirectly for a heating system, where it may be transferred to water that circulates through the pipes to radiators to warm different parts of a building. Such systems may also be used during summer months to cool a home, where by the process is reversed, and pulls heat from the inside and released it outdoors via the hyrdonic system.	+	Hydronic heat pump system use the heat pump to pulls thermal energy from the outside air (or the ground, for example in ground-source systems) using a refrigerant to transfer and move that heat.
