Do you want to enjoy heating and hot water while saving on your bills and using greener energy? Aerothermal energy is a clean technology that extracts up to 77% of ambient energy from the air. In this article, we’ll explain how this system works and the requirements for its installation.

What is underfloor heating, and how does it work?

Aerothermal heating is a highly energy-efficient air conditioning system that, through a single unit, provides heating, cooling, domestic hot water, and even underfloor heating. It produces four times more energy than it consumes and saves up to 70% on heating and hot water costs. For every 4kWh of energy it supplies to the home, it only consumes 1kWh. Combining it with a self-consumption photovoltaic system yields even greater savings.

Air source heat pumps can be installed in homes, existing buildings, or new construction that have space for their outdoor installation. It’s not a very bulky unit; it takes up the equivalent of a conventional refrigerator, as shown below in an air source heat pump installation in Valencia by MASRED Engineering.

Aerothermal energy utilizes a heat pump, such as an aerothermal boiler, which heats water through heat exchange with the surrounding environment. This allows for heating in winter, cooling in summer, and hot water throughout the year.

Inside the air source heat pump, a refrigerant flows through a circuit consisting of an evaporator, compressor, condenser, and expansion valve. Inside the pump, the outside air heats the refrigerant. As it passes through these components, it multiplies its heat, releasing it and utilizing it for heating, cooling, or producing hot water.

Among the advantages of aerothermal energy are:

• High energy efficiency.

• Easy installation.

• Adaptable to existing installations.

• Renewable and clean energy.

• It doesn’t take up much space.

• Ideal for underfloor heating and aerothermal installations

Are aerothermal installations subsidized?

Currently, the Next Generation EU grant is available, with aid of €500/kW, with a maximum of €3,000 per home.

To calculate the corresponding subsidy, simply apply the following formula.

Total help = Module x Ps

Where the module is equivalent to the aid provided in €/kWh, and Ps is comparable to the heating power value, information can be found in the technical sheet or specification of the equipment manufacturer.
