Johnson Controls Heat Pumps Cut Heating Costs
30 May 2026 CW Team
Johnson Controls has reported that its commercial and industrial heat pump portfolio helped global customers reduce annual heating costs by an estimated 32 per cent in 2025, compared to conventional gas boilers. The company also said customers cut greenhouse gas emissions by 55 per cent, equal to 1.6 million metric tonnes.
The heat pumps are being used across healthcare, manufacturing, municipal and district energy projects, where reliable heating, cooling and energy savings are critical. At New Aalborg Hospital in Denmark, Johnson Controls’ district cooling system helped cut electricity costs by 80 per cent and emissions by 80–90 per cent.
In Vancouver, two YORK CYK centrifugal heat pumps recover thermal energy from wastewater to provide low-carbon heating for 47 buildings covering 7 million sq ft. The system now supports 10,000 residents and businesses, while delivering hot water at efficiencies exceeding 300 per cent.
Johnson Controls said its heat pump solutions can operate in conditions as low as -25°C and produce hot water above 125°C using waste heat. The company added that such systems can help customers reduce energy use, emissions and operating costs while adapting to existing infrastructure.
