Heat pumps Zabrze
We install heat pumps in Zabrze.
We are an authorized partner of Rotenso, a Polish manufacturer of heat pumps.
Heat pump savings in practice
The air-source heat pump extracts thermal energy from the environment, that is, from the air, and transfers it to water (it transports the heat to the heating circuit and to the hot water tank).
Of course, this is not a completely free process, the heat pump is equipped with an electric motor that drives the pump. The energy consumed by the motor is the cost of generating heat, and this cost is much lower than with traditional heaters.
Various analyses show that the cost of purchasing a heat pump can pay off in just 3 years.

Air source heat pumps Operating principle
Air-source heat pumps for heating homes and heating domestic hot water use thermal energy extracted from the air. Developments in manufacturing technology have made air-source heat pumps equal in efficiency to ground-source heat pumps, with a significantly lower purchase price for the device.
Air-source heat pumps (air-to-water) are successfully used in both currently built and modernized facilities, displacing traditional solutions based on fossil fuels (coal, natural gas, fuel oil).
Principle of operation of heat pumps
Contrary to appearances, it is actually very simple. The device receives the heat accumulated in the air and, through a cooling system and then a heat exchanger, gives it back to the water that circulates in the heating system. Heating with an air-source heat pump is based on extracting energy from the environment (up to 75%) and supplementing the rest with electricity (about 25%).
Air-source heat pumps can operate even more efficiently if connected to a photovoltaic system. In that case, such a heating solution for a building can confidently be called cost-free heating – its current operation will amount to 0 PLN. It will be immune to potential future increases in energy carrier costs.
Air-source heat pumps, unlike the ground-source heat pump, do not require the construction of a special installation and digging into the ground. A small amount of space outside the building is required for the installation and placement of an air-source heat pump. This allows for easy installation of the pump even in already occupied inhabited houses. The pumps can work with both existing central heating systems as well as completely new systems (underfloor heating, wall heating).
Types of air-source heat pumps.
Split and monoblock – what are the differences?
There are two types of systems on the market, which differ in design. An air-source heat pump can consist of only an outdoor unit (called a monoblock) or an outdoor and indoor unit (called a split). Whether it’s a monoblock or split system, the efficiency of the units with the same nominal power is practically the same.
Air-source split heat pump
The system consists of two modules, one of which is installed outside and the other, called the hydrobox, is installed inside the building. The modules are connected by refrigerant pipes. The indoor module is connected to the building’s heating circuit and the domestic hot water tank.
The advantages of the split solution are:
- easy service access (inside the building) to the pump’s automation and hydraulic components
- the heating system can be filled with water (there is no risk of the water installation freezing)
Monoblock air-source heat pump
Both the refrigerant and hydraulic modules of the heat pump are housed in a single unit. The device is installed outside the building and is directly connected to the building’s heating circuit.
The advantages of the monoblock solution are:
- does not take up space inside the building
- the possibility of placing the pump at a greater distance from the building (more than 15 meters)
- does not require the installer to have certifications for working with refrigerants (F-gases)
