Why Choose Underfloor Heating with Daikin Altherma?
Underfloor heating offers unique advantages over traditional heating systems:
Even Heat Distribution: Heat rises gently from the floor, creating a uniform temperature across rooms and eliminating cold spots.
Enhanced Comfort: Warm floors make walking barefoot or lounging in living areas more comfortable.
Space-Saving & Discreet: Unlike wall-mounted heaters or radiators, underfloor heating is hidden, preserving wall and floor space.
Energy Efficiency: Low-temperature water running through underfloor pipes uses less energy than conventional systems, reducing household electricity costs.
Zoned Control: Heat only the areas you need, allowing for precise temperature management and added efficiency.
Paired with Daikin Altherma, underfloor heating becomes a high-performance solution that is quiet, reliable, and designed for long-term durability.
How Daikin Altherma Works
Daikin Altherma is an air-to-water heat pump system. It extracts heat from the outside air and transfers it to water, which then circulates through underfloor pipes, radiators, or fan coil units. This process is highly efficient, requiring significantly less energy than traditional electric or gas-based systems.
Key advantages of Altherma include:
Flexible Integration: Works with underfloor heating, radiators, and fan coil units.
Smart Temperature Control: Remote and smartphone app control ensures your home is warm when needed.
Environmentally Friendly: Uses R-32 refrigerant with low global warming potential and is compatible with solar or renewable energy integration.
Quiet Operation: Minimal noise ensures comfort throughout the home.
Altherma’s heat pump technology also enables reverse-cycle heating and cooling in some variants, making it a complete year-round climate solution for your home.
