Aris Hydronics combines heating, cooling and hot water in one home system
Aris Hydronics is building a home-comfort system that connects heating, cooling and hot water to one outdoor heat pump. The company, which uses the public name Aris, also designs ventilation and offers installation and service for homeowners and builders. Bringing those pieces into one offer could give a home project a single provider for equipment, design and ongoing maintenance.
One system, several household demands
Inside the home, water carries heating and cooling to room-level fan coils. A multi-chamber tank stores hot water for household use and provides a separate buffer for space heating and cooling.
Aris says its controls can use that buffer to shift when the heat pump operates relative to demand. The company also describes software that considers weather and electricity rates when planning operation.
That design gives Aris more to offer than an isolated appliance: it can tailor equipment and distribution to a home and coordinate their operation after installation.
Aris presents installation by its own crew, monitoring and maintenance as part of the package. For a homeowner or builder, that approach could reduce the need to assemble those services separately.
From pilot homes toward a broader offer
Aris says it is piloting in the Portland and Seattle metropolitan areas and plans a commercial launch in 2027. It is seeking a limited number of Portland-area pilot projects involving new high-performance homes or deep retrofits.
