ᐅ Alternative to Proxon air-to-air heat pump?

Hello everyone,

After a long search for a construction company, I decided on Galileo-Home, who will be building my bungalow.
Over the past weeks and months, I have repeatedly come across the air-to-air heat pump from Proxon, and I really like this system because I’m not a fan of slow and overly warm underfloor heating.
My only problem is that Zimmermann, the company that sells and installs Proxon systems, does not collaborate with Galileo-Home and does not want to install such a system for me.

Now to my question:
Are there comparable alternatives to the Proxon system? A solution with similar fresh water heating would also be interesting, of course.
Unfortunately, after intensive research, I haven’t found anything concrete and would appreciate any tips.

Best regards,
Nicolas

A modern underfloor heating system will never become excessively warm. In normal use, you won’t even notice that you have underfloor heating. From an energy perspective, your chosen air-to-air heat pump consumes a lot of electricity; air is the least efficient medium for heat transfer. It is inexpensive to install but costly to operate.

You have now been informed about the technical aspects. For the manufacturer, try using your favorite search engine or the search function here in the forum.

Regarding your question: @haydee here in the forum has an air-to-air heat pump in her passive house from a manufacturer who apparently takes the planning process fairly seriously. Consumption data is not yet available. Outside of a passive house, I would not consider air-to-air systems.

The better you plan the underfloor heating, the lower its temperature can be, and the more efficiently the heat pump will operate.

Try working with a system partner or your regular heating installer who is familiar with Meine products, as they also offer exhaust air heat pumps. However, outside of a passive house, these units are generally not very suitable.

Then you were still lucky!

It seems that opinions are clearly against air-to-air systems, from what I’ve seen here. Thanks for that, first of all.

Okay, I could probably get used to underfloor heating. The only thing that might bother me is that it could be constantly too warm.
I currently live in a timber-framed house and I’m the type of person who always has the windows open. If I feel cold, I close the window, turn the radiator up a bit, and then it gets warm. Otherwise, my windows are always open, and I heat spontaneously and only when I need to. Most likely, a traditional radiator would still be the best choice for me, but who wants radiators in a modern new build?
I hope you can understand my issue and why I considered an air-to-air heat pump system.
