Sizing and design of heat pumps for new and existing buildings - from heat load calculation to commissioning.
This list is not complete - describe your project and we will tell you which points are relevant for you.
Designing a heat pump for a single-family house usually takes a few weeks. With geothermal boreholes, notification and drilling are added. The effort depends on the size and condition of the building, the chosen heat source, the combination with PV or existing heating and whether site supervision is included.
Heat load is calculated according to UNI EN 12831-1. Energy performance is governed by the South Tyrol provincial rules and the Technical Guideline of the KlimaHaus Agency, supplemented by Legislative Decree 192/2005 with the Ministerial Decree of 26.06.2015 on minimum requirements. For air source heat pumps we pay attention to noise protection and the correct position of the outdoor unit. In South Tyrol geothermal boreholes only require a notification, no water concession. Groundwater heat pumps require a concession and a hydrogeological report; they are therefore usually only economical for larger buildings. Refrigerants are subject to the EU F-gas Regulation 2024/573.
We work throughout Vinschgau / Val Venosta - from Reschen/Resia, Graun/Curon and Mals/Malles via Prad/Prato, Laas/Lasa and Schlanders/Silandro to Naturns/Naturno - in the Burggrafenamt / Burgraviato around Meran / Merano and on request throughout South Tyrol. Our office is based in Prad am Stilfserjoch / Prato allo Stelvio; site visits are standard for us. We work in German and Italian.
Often yes. Heat load and flow temperature are decisive. We check whether the existing radiators are sufficient or whether insulation or changes to the heat distribution make sense first.
It depends on altitude, plot and heat load. Air source heat pumps cost less to buy, ground source systems work more evenly in winter. We calculate both options for your building.
Yes, as a hybrid system: the heat pump covers most of the demand and the boiler takes over on particularly cold days. We check whether this makes sense for your building.
Not necessarily. Underfloor heating is ideal, but a heat pump also works with suitably sized radiators.
Often yes, because part of the electricity for the heat pump is generated on site. We design both to work together.
Modern units are quiet, but the position still matters. We pay attention to distances from neighbours and bedrooms.
Yes, depending on the case provincial grants, Conto Termico or tax deductions. The conditions change often; we check the current situation for your project.
