The heating system was comprehensively upgraded as part of a major renovation that included extending the home with a new addition. The existing wood-fired heating system had gradually become a limitation — not only because of the daily manual work it required, but also because it could no longer provide sufficient heat for the larger, modernised living space.
Over time, the wood-fired heating system became increasingly restrictive for comfortable everyday living. Loading the boiler manually, storing firewood and constantly managing the heating process required significant time and effort. At the same time, the system was simply no longer capable of meeting the new heating demands. With the addition of a new extension, the heated floor area increased substantially, further exposing the limitations of the existing system.
The newly built part of the house was designed with modern underfloor heating, while the original section remained equipped with radiators. This combination required a much more adaptable and powerful heating solution capable of supplying different heating circuits simultaneously, while still delivering sufficient heat for a larger family and a greater number of rooms.
The old wood-fired boiler was no longer able to meet these demands, so the owners began looking for a solution that would not simply solve the problem temporarily, but provide a long-term, reliable and future-ready heating system.
The optimal solution proved to be the KRONOTERM ADAPT air-to-water heat pump, specifically designed for real-life renovation scenarios like this one. The system operates efficiently with both underfloor heating and radiators, even simultaneously, intelligently adjusting to different temperature requirements — from the higher temperatures needed for radiator heating to the lower water temperatures required for underfloor systems.
ADAPT stands out for its stable and quiet operation as well as high energy efficiency, which significantly reduces heating costs compared to wood-based heating. The system was complemented by the HYDRO S2 indoor unit and a 300-litre hot water storage tank, ensuring sufficient hot water even for a larger household. Today, the heat pump easily covers the heating needs of both the original and the newly built parts of the house, providing consistent warmth in every room and a much higher level of comfort — without manual work, without fuel storage and with minimal maintenance.
By replacing the outdated wood-fired heating system with the KRONOTERM ADAPT heat pump, the family gained a reliable and comprehensive heating solution tailored to their expanded home.
The system seamlessly connects radiators in the older part of the house with underfloor heating in the new extension, while reducing daily workload, eliminating manual firewood handling and ensuring stable indoor comfort with lower and more predictable heating costs throughout the year.
