The use of energy based on renewable energy sources is becoming an inseparable element of the current reality. Observed climate changes force the gradual abandonment of fossil fuels in favor of renewable energy sources. Thermal modernization of houses and buildings is the most effective way to combat air pollution, and heat pumps are becoming the most frequently chosen source of heat, thus contributing to the reduction of energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions.

Why choose NIBE heat pumps?
The main factors influencing the increasingly common choice of a heat pump are the attractiveness of heating costs, compared to other heat sources and government support programs for using this technology. The diverse functionality of heat pumps is also extremely important, i.e. the use of one device for heating, preparation of domestic hot water and cooling of rooms. High comfort of use is also important - because a heat pump is a practically maintenance-free system.
There is no denying that the interest in heat pumps in Poland is influenced, in addition to the increasing ecological awareness of Poles, by government subsidies, which largely concern modernized houses. The leading government, nationwide financial support program for investments consisting in thermal modernization and replacement of the heat source in existing buildings is "Clean Air". The purchase and installation of a heat pump in a single-family house can also be deducted under the thermal modernization relief.
In many modernized buildings, the heat receivers are old radiators, which, in order to ensure thermal comfort in the room, require a high supply temperature. Due to the fact that heat pumps work most efficiently with low-temperature heating, during thermal modernization work, it is worth considering replacing existing radiators with those that will allow lowering the operating parameters of the installation or, if possible, using underfloor heating. The presented actions will contribute to reducing the operating costs of the heat pump.
Solutions for modernization and new buildings – NIBE SPLIT heat pump
Work in new and modernized buildings requires many possibilities of configuring the heating system. The NIBE SPLIT air heat pump with the new NIBE SHB internal unit, dedicated to cooperation with the NIBE AMS external heat pump unit, will work great here. Both units are connected by an installation filled with refrigerant. The devices are controlled by the built-in NIBE SMO controller with a color display, which allows the connection and control of the NIBE ERS recuperator, cooling system, NIBE PV photovoltaic installation and many other functions.
In order to produce domestic hot water, the system can be configured with a tank of a selected capacity, selected appropriately to the size of the demand for domestic hot water. The NIBE SHB indoor unit, due to its compact design and dimensions, works very well in modernized buildings, in small rooms where space for a boiler room is limited. Additionally, the built-in components ensure quick installation of the system, also reducing the risk of making mistakes, which makes it a system for easy and quick installation on the Plug&Play principle.
When is it best to choose a high-temperature heat pump?
If the investor decides to leave the existing heat receivers operating at a high parameter, it is important to select the appropriate heat pump that will be able to provide the right amount of heat with the required operating parameters. The NIBE heat pump product catalog also includes appropriate solutions to ensure optimal operation of the heating system in such a building.
NIBE S2125 high-temperature air heat pump
The first is the high-temperature air heat pump type monoblock NIBE S2125, which, thanks to the used R290 agent, reaches up to 75°C on the heating system supply. This pump is a breakthrough in the technology of air/water heat pumps, achieving the seasonal efficiency coefficient SCOP at the same level as brine/water heat pumps.The high-temperature air heat pump NIBE S2125 can work with other heat sources, such as electric, oil, gas boilers - which is important when modernizing existing heating systems. In order to produce domestic hot water, the device requires the connection of a domestic hot water tank (e.g. NIBE BA-ST 90XX-1FEDC), or a compact internal unit SHK 200M or NIBE VVM 225/310/500/S320 with a built-in controller.
NIBE S1255 ground source heat pump
Another solution and alternative to air pumps may be a wide range of NIBE ground heat pumps, e.g. NIBE S1255, NIBE F1245 PC and others, which are able to provide a high supply temperature of up to 65°C. They are available as dual-function units with a built-in utility water tank and as single-function units - without a tank. A wide range of accessories gives great possibilities of expanding the functions of the ground heat pump system beyond the basic ones, as well as configuring the system with additional heating devices. The aforementioned pumps will be an ideal solution in buildings where the investor does not want or has no possibility of replacing the existing heat receivers.
What do the operating costs of heat pumps depend on?
Operating costs depend on many factors, including the heat pump model, ambient temperature, the thermal comfort we expect in the rooms, etc. The user of the heat pump also has an impact on the amount of electricity used. Both the internal controller of the new NIBE SHB unit and all other controllers from the NIBE offer have the option of setting a work schedule that will allow you to control the internal temperature at designated times, so as to adjust the thermal comfort to the needs of the household.
Thermal modernization activities are an important step towards reducing the building's heat demand. Heat loss can be reduced by replacing windows and doors and insulating building partitions, including the floor on the ground, ceiling, walls, and roof.
