Renewable Heat from a Single Source: Solingen City Works' Innovative Approach

In a bid to promote sustainable living, Solingen City Works, a local utility provider, has partnered with local partners to produce the Air-Water Heat Pump. This innovative solution offers several advantages for multi-family houses, including energy-efficient heating and cooling, use of renewable energy, and potential cost savings on utility bills.

Key Advantages of Air-Water Heat Pumps

  1. Energy Efficiency: By extracting heat from outside air, even in colder seasons, these heat pumps provide efficient heating, reducing reliance on fossil fuels.
  2. Renewable Energy Use: The heat pumps contribute to sustainable building operation with lower carbon emissions.
  3. Cooling Capability: Many air-water heat pumps can also provide cooling, adding year-round comfort.
  4. Potential Subsidies: Municipal utilities like Solingen City Works may offer incentives or support for renewable systems.

Important Considerations

  1. Space Requirements: Outdoor units need sufficient space and proper placement to ensure efficient operation and noise compliance.
  2. Heating Demand Matching: The heat pump must be sized to meet the peak thermal load of a multi-family house.
  3. Integration with Existing Systems: May require adaptation or hybrid configuration if the building has existing boilers or radiators.
  4. Installation and Maintenance Complexity: Professional planning and regular maintenance are essential to optimize system performance and longevity.

While the benefits and considerations align generally with renewable heating technologies and planning advice for geothermal systems, it is crucial to consult Solingen City Works or their affiliated energy experts for precise technical details, subsidy opportunities, and installation guidelines relevant to Solingen.

Solingen City Works' Offerings

  1. Quality and Service: As a local company, Solingen City Works focuses on quality and service, looking out for the best possible conditions for customers.
  2. Central Point of Contact: Solingen City Works acts as the central point of contact, taking care of planning, maintenance, and coordination of appointments.
  3. All-Inclusive Package: The company offers an All-Inclusive Package for heat pump installation, including consultation, installation, and maintenance.
  4. Cooperation with Local Craft Businesses: Solingen City Works ensures cooperation with local and reliable craft businesses for the installation of heat pumps.
  5. On-Site Inspection: Specialists should inspect the property on-site before further planning the installation to ensure efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
  6. Additional Measures: Additional measures may be necessary beyond the installation of the heat pump, as assessed by the city works experts after an on-site visit.

Stephan Birkholzer, responsible for product management at Solingen City Works, recommends starting a solid planning for a heat pump installation now. Maximizing the share of self-consumed solar power can reduce the required residual power consumption.
