Air-to-water heat pumps

An air-to-water heat pump is an excellent option for single-family homes that want to reduce heating costs and switch to more environmentally friendly energy. It is easy to install and can be combined with, for example, underfloor heating or a water radiator system.

Air-to-water heat pumps are ideal for housing associations looking to replace old oil or electric heating systems. They offer significant savings and improve the energy efficiency of the property.

Commercial properties such as hotels, restaurants and industrial facilities can utilize air-to-water heat pumps for heating and hot water production, reducing energy costs and supporting the company's environmental goals.

Air-to-water heat pump transfers heat taken from the outside air to a water-circulating heating system, such as underfloor heating or radiators. The system uses a refrigerant circuit with a compressor, which enables efficient heat recovery even in freezing weather. The heat is transferred to the domestic water and indoor air heating via a storage tank.

The electricity consumption of an air-to-water heat pump depends on the size of the property, the insulation of the building, the system dimensions and the outdoor temperatures. Typically, the annual consumption in a detached house is around 4,000–6,000 kWh. A large part of the consumption is used for the compressor and heating the domestic water.

The installation of a water-to-air heat pump usually takes 1–3 working days. The work includes dismantling the old heating system, installing the new unit, plumbing and electrical work. The exact time depends on whether you are doing a complete installation or just replacing the heat pump unit in an existing system.

A monoblock air-to-water heat pump is a single-unit system where the compressor, evaporator and condenser are located in the same outdoor unit. This solution simplifies installation because the refrigerant circuit is completely outside and a separate indoor unit is not required. It is particularly suitable for applications where, for example, there is limited indoor space.
