The NIBE-BIAWAR company offers several dozen models of NIBE heat pumps with varying power from 1.5 to 160 kW, in one unit and, according to BRG Building Solutions statistical data, it is the leader in heat pump sales in Poland.
Air is free. Why not use it?
Nibe currently offers the largest selection of air source heat pumps on the market, tailored to cover a variety of heating needs, whether it is a small house, an apartment block or a large building with a swimming pool. These devices use outside air as a heat source, therefore installing a lower source in the form of vertical probes or a ground collector is unnecessary, and heat production is possible even when the outside temperature drops to -25°C.
The NIBE air heat pump offer is becoming more and more popular every year. In the monoblock heat pump segment, NIBE currently offers NIBE F2030 air/water pumps with a power of 7 and 9 kW with an incredibly high efficiency factor, comparable to ground pumps. For example, the COP of the NIBE F2030-7kW heat pump is as much as 4.81 for A7/W35 according to EN14511.
The offer of air pumps dedicated to single-family housing has also been expanded by monoblock heat pumps with modulated heating power and built-in cooling function NIBE F2040 with a power of up to 8, up to 12 and up to 16 kW, which in turn pleases investors with a low price (NIBE F2040-8kW costs only PLN 18,000 net! NIBE F2040 heat pumps combined with the SMO 20 controller and the BUZ multivalent tank are also a great solution for modernized buildings. In this case, the air heat pump allows you to reduce heating costs by up to 60% while maintaining low installation costs. In this case, NIBE offers ready-made solutions for connecting a heat pump with a solid fuel boiler, a fireplace with a water jacket, solar collectors, an oil boiler (Fig. 1) or a gas boiler.

NIBE air heat pumps provide up to 65 0 C to power the heating system, which makes them an ideal solution for thermal modernization of buildings where users want to maintain the existing radiator system. NIBE heat pumps are installed outside the building and thanks to a new, highly efficient scroll compressor based on EVI technology, they provide a temperature of 63 0 C even at a temperature of -25 0 C!!! Higher efficiency compared to previous models and low noise level (37/45 dB at a distance of 2 m at high/low fan speed, respectively) puts NIBE MONOBLOK heat pumps on the top shelf, among the best heat pumps available in the world.
NIBE systems are designed to ensure simple installation and pleasant operation of the device. Examples include flexible anti-vibration connectors with which NIBE outdoor units are equipped and a wide range of accessories that increase the comfort of using the heat pump. The added value of NIBE heat pumps is also a built-in drip tray and automatic regulation of fan efficiency. The high efficiency and quality of this series is confirmed by the EHPA (European Heat Pump Organization) quality mark awarded by independent research laboratories.

Split heat pumps are an excellent solution for new buildings. It is an air/water device consisting of an outdoor and indoor unit that maintains thermal comfort in the building all year round, while providing heating, cooling and domestic hot water even at a temperature of -20 0 C. NIBE SPLIT is based on inverter technology, thanks to which it has modulated heating power in the range of 3-8kW, 3-12kW and 4-16 kW (in accordance with EN14511 for A7/W45) depending on the type of the AMS 10 outdoor unit.
Quiet operation, a wide range of operating temperatures (from -20 o C to +43 o C), a wide selection of indoor units with an integrated controller and electrical module, selected depending on the demand for domestic hot water, and ease of operation are additional advantages of the NIBE SPLIT heat pump, thanks to where our favorite terms "all inclusive" and "plug and play" fit it perfectly. What distinguishes NIBE SPLIT from other heat pumps is its flexibility of location, simplicity of installation (the pump is factory-filled with refrigerant), as well as the "completeness" of the device, which can be an independent source of thermal energy needed to heat the building and produce hot water. The NIBE SPLIT system provides cheap heating and domestic hot water preparation (savings of up to 75% of costs), and thanks to the possibility of reverse circulation, also cooling in the summer.
