Aerothermal systems work best in well-insulated homes with radiant or underfloor heating, but modern high-temperature heat pumps can now retrofit into homes with standard radiators too. A certified installer can calculate your home’s heat loss and recommend the right unit size (measured in kW) for your space.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does aerothermal energy work in cold climates?
Yes. Modern air source heat pumps operate efficiently down to about -20°C to -25°C, though efficiency (COP) decreases slightly as outdoor temperatures drop.
Is aerothermal energy the same as a heat pump?
Aerothermal energy is the source of heat (the air); the air source heat pump is the technology that extracts and uses it.
How much does an aerothermal system cost to install?
Costs vary widely by home size, climate, and system type, generally ranging from moderate to significant investment, often partially offset by government subsidies.
