<h1>UKEPLEN08-722_Altherma_tcm219-114368.pdf</h1> Altherma Air Source Heat PumpAltherma is a highly flexible, energy efficient home heating system that extracts the heat from the outside air, raises this heat to a higher temperature and then distributes warmth around the home. At the heart of the system lies an air to water heat pump.Because of this advanced technology, three quarters of the heat generated by the Altherma system is from a renewable energy source, the air around us, and therefore absolutely free of charge! The Altherma air to water heat pump is today’s answer to the current and future problems associated with conventional heating systems, such as, increasing primary energy costs and an unacceptably high environmental impact.LESS ENERGY, PLEASANT WARMTH IN THE HOME Altherma operates 3 to 5 times more efficiently than a traditional heating system based on fossil fuels or electricity. By making use of the heat in the outside air, you use far less energy while still enjoying a stable and pleasant level of comfort. Also, maintenance requirements are minimal ensuring low running costs. Thanks to the inverter technology and in-built weather compensation control Altherma uses; energy savings are even greater than most other heat pump systems.COMPLETE COMFORT FOR YOUR FAMILY Altherma satisfies all your heating and domestic hot water requirements right through the year even on the coldest days. With a fully integrated control system, Altherma will provide consistent comfort with optimum efficiency…and for those long hot summer days Altherma even comes with a cooling option.RENEWABLE, INEXHAUSTIBLE ENERGY WITH SOLAR PANELS Altherma has an option to be connected to, and to work in conjunction with solar panels. The integrated control system will maximise the renewable heat available, be it from the air, via the heat pump, or direct sunlight from the solar panel.3 30 – 50% reduction in CO2 emissions3 Low running costs3 Low maintenance3 Low noise – unobtrusive and quiet3 Easy to install, no groundwork i.e. trenches or boreholes3 No gas supply, flues or ventilation required3 No fuel storage tanks required3 Comparable installation costs to gas fired boilers3 Suitable for both apartments & houses3 Single phase power supply with low starting current3 Flexible, can be connected to underfloor heating, low temperature radiators or fan coils3 Weather compensation built in as standard3 Meets & exceeds CO2 reduction targets required by building regulations3 Helps achieve 3 stars rating in the code for sustainable homes3 Reduced VAT for domestic applications from 17.5% to 5%0C - 0M - 71Y - 0K6C - 0M - 0Y - 61K34C - 11M - 0Y - 0K20C - 97M - 41Y - 6KDID YOU KNOW THAT...Heat pumps are classed as renewable technology, because they extract heat from a renewable source, the air around us!the energy efficient home heating system
