FORLSSMAN Lights Up AHR Expo 2026: Hybrid Heat Pump Innovation Takes Center Stage

FORLSSMAN, a trusted manufacturer of high-efficiency heat pump systems, recently showcased its latest innovations at the AHR Expo 2026, North America’s leading HVACR industry event, held in Las Vegas in February. The show provided a key platform to connect with HVAC installers, distributors, and contractors seeking reliable, energy-efficient water heating solutions for residential and light commercial projects.

At our booth, we featured our flagship R513a Hybrid Heat Pump Water Heater Tower, purpose-built for the U.S. and Canadian markets. This all-in-one unit delivers exceptional performance, with a Uniform Energy Factor (UEF) up to 4.15, making it ideal for meeting energy code requirements and reducing operating costs. Available in 50-gallon and 80-gallon models, it uses low-GWP R513a refrigerant (GWP <700) to support sustainability goals, while its high COP (up to 5.40) ensures reliable hot water even in variable ambient conditions. Built with durable enamel tanks, corrosion-resistant magnesium anodes, and quiet BLDC fan motors, these units are designed for long service life and easy installation (top or side connections).

Our team engaged with hundreds of qualified B2B visitors, including HVAC contractors, plumbing wholesalers, and regional distributors. Key discussions focused on hybrid heat pump technology, energy efficiency compliance (Tier 4 requirements), and the benefits of high-UEF water heaters for new construction and retrofits. Many attendees showed strong interest in our ready-to-deploy solutions, which align with growing demand for low-carbon, high-performance residential water heating systems.

As a result of the show, FORLSSMAN secured new distribution partnerships and initial orders, strengthening our footprint in the North American HVAC market.

Looking ahead, we will bring our heat pump expertise to the UK Installer Show in June. Stay tuned for updates on our latest offerings for the European market, and connect with FORLSSMAN for your next project.
