Hello everyone,

does anyone have experience with Rotex air heat pumps for single-family houses.
How are they in terms of noise and performance?

Thank you very much.

Hmh, basically, but this applies to all air-to-water heat pumps: a heat pump is only as good as the casing that surrounds it. Don’t fall for the sleight-of-hand tricks where utopian factors are given.

The stupid thing here is that, according to the brochure, information on COP etc. is only provided in connection with a solar system, and numbers, especially at minus 7, which are very interesting, aren’t provided at all (at least I haven’t found any). Solar with the air-to-water heat pump is not exactly, uh, economical. If you really have nothing better to do with your money, then yes….

I myself am not a fan of these split inverter machines. Large heat exchanger on a much too small area, then weather like now, fog at 0° and the unit immediately frosts up. Then it’s better to spend a few euros more and get a big machine.

Good evening, I had the same system installed in 2013. The system is already prepared for solar but I have not yet laid any cables to the roof. Now my question is, can I simply combine a third-party company with the Rotex? By that I mean simply intercepting the pipes before the system and installing an external heat exchanger. Or is it only possible to use the original from Rotex?
