Available aerothermal systems:

• 

  Air conditioning

  Find different options for air-conditioning installation in this section. All our air-conditioning range includes a heat pump to provide both cooling and heating. Check all available models.

• 

  Hybrid aerothermal

  These systems allow you to combine electricity and diesel to generate the energy required for operation. This way you can reuse an existing diesel-based installation and reduce your electricity bill.

• 

  Aerothermal heat pumps with DHW

  A heat pump with DHW can heat and cool any space, while also producing domestic hot water. Check the different Daikin and Domusa aerothermal models available for efficient climate control in your home.

  Aerothermal components

  Find all kinds of accessories to complement your aerothermal installation in this section. We offer the best components to make your installation more efficient and ensure everything runs perfectly.

What is aerothermal energy?

One of the major challenges faced by smart homes and modern architecture today is creating efficient climate-control systems. Society is moving towards a lifestyle that uses more sustainable, environmentally friendly systems. In this context, aerothermal energy stands out as a renewable energy source that offers major advantages for climate control in homes and other spaces.

How does aerothermal energy work?

The operating method consists of extracting energy from the outdoor air through heat exchange, via a high-performance compression system that transforms the extracted energy (heat) into useful energy for climate control. Essentially, it can provide heating in winter and cool air/air-conditioning in summer — all with very low electricity consumption.

This aerothermal process makes it possible to obtain energy with significant cost savings and without any type of combustion. It also virtually eliminates harmful gas emissions released into the atmosphere, except in hybrid systems, which combine the aerothermal system with a gas or diesel boiler depending on your choice or needs.

Can I also produce DHW with aerothermal energy?

Yes. Aerothermal systems with heat pumps and hybrid systems are also capable of producing domestic hot water for a home. With this energy source, you can have DHW at any tap in your home, which makes these systems an ideal replacement for a boiler, as they provide an all-in-one service (a single unit) for DHW production with storage.

What are aerothermal heating systems like?

An aerothermal system is essentially the replacement for a traditional boiler in a heating and DHW (domestic hot water) installation, so its function is to “heat” or “cool” water for the system. The emitters are responsible for heating or cooling the space, and you can use traditional radiators, radiant floor heating or air-conditioning splits.

Aerothermal system with radiators

To use an aerothermal system with radiators, you need to connect your installation to a heat pump or hybrid unit, which replaces the boiler. You can connect this type of installation to almost any type of radiator: aluminium, cast iron, decorative, and also towel rails — in short, any radiator model that works with hot water (not electric). However, we always recommend using low-temperature radiators to improve system performance.

In this case, radiators cannot be used for cooling, so another emitter would be needed for cold air.

Aerothermal installation with radiant floor

Another option is to use aerothermal energy — hybrid or not — in radiant floor heating systems. This system integrates insulating panels with small pipes beneath the floor, through which water circulates and is heated or cooled by the aerothermal heat pump itself.

Combining aerothermal energy with radiant floor heating is currently one of the most efficient and successful options, as it allows you to take full advantage of the heat pump’s performance to climate-control any space, whether cooling or heating.

What does the aerothermal price include?

At materialescalefaccion.com we provide all the components needed for a proper aerothermal installation. And if you need it and don’t know who to turn to, we can put you in touch with a trusted installer if necessary.

It’s important to know that although installation and components can be slightly more expensive compared to other systems, it delivers long-term savings. Because it is more efficient than traditional systems, the overall cost becomes more economical the longer it is used.
