Thermia Atec – The choice of professionals

Günter Oldigs lives in a single-family house with Angelika and two cats. In September 2014, he decided to improve the energy efficiency of his own home by adding insulation to the upper floor and roof area and changing the heating system.

 

 

 

“In September 2014, I switched from an oil-fired heating system to a Scandinavian air-source heat pump, the Thermia Atec 9 kW. To help promote this technology, I decided to publish all performance data on my website. So rather than listening to my arguments and deciding whether or not to believe, potential investors and homeowners can now track the monthly energy consumption and seasonal performance (SCOP) of my own heating system in real time. Hard evidence is hard to ignore.” - Günter Oldigs

Energy consumption for heating purposes dropped to 2847 kWh and the heat delivered to the house was 9373 kWh, so 70 % comes from thin air and is renewable energy.

“Today, I have the evidence to show that converting from oil to heat pump technology was an excellent decision. A further big advantage for me is professional. In my role as an energy consultant, I can show my customers the actual performance of the heat pump technology I use in my house. This is far more convincing than any Excel calculation or simulation and represents a strong argument for anyone considering renewing their heating system.”
