Thermia’s air heat pump gave room for a whirlpool bath and sauna.And more money left in your wallet |

Air as an energy source. And more money left in your wallet. Is it actually possible? Yes it is, and the Eriksson family in Arvika can prove it. The investment in the Thermia heat pump installation is the best thing that they have done since buying their redbrick detached house. Anders proudly shows off the new bathroom with whirlpool bath. The bathroom previously housed a small laundry room. The old boiler room now contains a newly built Sauna. |

Large cost savings |
|
»We have gained larger and more effective living space at the same time as only using a third of our previous electrical consumption. It is a great feeling to be able to heat your house using outside air. So simple and ingenious, says Anders who points out that since installation in September 2004 consumption has fallen to 9 000 kW a year compared to the previous 26 000 kW to heat the living and additional space of a total 150 m2. This gives a cost saving of approx 15 000 SEK. |

Clever defrosting technology |
The installation of an air heat pump does not require any permits, but one should show consideration to the neighbours and position the outdoor section in a concealed place from an aesthetic point of view.
Thermia has come a long way in the development of their air heat pumps. The clever defrosting control means that the function is activated only when it is needed, which saves even more energy.
The heat pump is installed on the inside of the house. This prevents unnecessary heat loss because no hot water is circulated outdoors. The pump’s pipe system has a glycol supply which means that it cannot freeze. Which all adds to the energy savings and increased reliability. |

Effective even in bitter cold |
»Having a Thermia air heat pump feels secure and dependable and when it is really
cold an electrical heating element supports the heating supply. But it has to be bitterly cold for that to happen, it is amazing that the air heat pump can extract the energy down to –20 °C», concludes a delighted Anders Eriksson. |
