The owner of two neighboring residential buildings with over 20 occupants faced significant challenges in maintaining reliable heating and sufficient hot water. Previously, with five boilers and an outdated gas furnace, monthly heating expenses were high, often failing to meet all residents’ hot water needs.
Seeking a solution to reduce costs, lower the environmental impact, and improve comfort, the owner chose a KRONOTERM heat pump.
Installing a single heat pump to serve both buildings proved to be an efficient and cost-effective choice. Rather than doubling the upfront expenses with two boreholes and two pumps, one strategically planned installation halved the initial investment.
As part of a comprehensive energy upgrade – including improved insulation and upgraded windows and doors – the outdated gas furnace was replaced with a modern 12 kW WPG geothermal heat pump. This pump draws from a renewable geothermal source, using the earth’s warmth to heat rooms via radiators and provide hot water. “In just one day, the borehole was drilled, the gas disconnected, and the heat pump installed. Since then, our bills have significantly decreased,” the owner shares.
The impact has been remarkable – heating and hot water costs dropped by over 80%. Besides the financial benefits, the system is now more straightforward, and hot water interruptions have become a thing of the past. Residents enjoy a comfortable temperature and ample hot water year-round.
With this new solution, the owner now experiences consistently warm interiors and stable temperatures, free from interruptions. “More than 20 people are now warm and have hot water at just a quarter of the previous expense,” he says, pleased.
