Hello,
we are having a Vaillant Arotherm Split VWL 75/ with uniTower VWL 78/5 IS installed.
I read on the manufacturer's website that the aroTherm split can also be used for cooling with underfloor heating (which we have), provided it is "properly designed."
Unfortunately, I couldn’t find more information. What does "properly designed" mean exactly?
We will definitely ask our contact person about this at the next appointment. I just like to be prepared beforehand to know if it will cause additional costs or what exactly needs to be done.
With another builder, we were once quoted a four-figure additional cost for the cooling function. However, I no longer remember which heating model was supposed to be installed then.

The heat needs to be vented outside, and that only works with an external exhaust. Then we'll consider another option. But installing an air conditioner now just for a few weeks a year seems excessive to us.

Yes, I thought the same at first. Meanwhile, the second system is installed. Yes, for those few weeks (it increases year by year). We live in a 70sqm (750 sq ft) apartment without a garden and hardly any shade. So far, heat has rarely been an issue. Now it will be 140sqm (1,500 sq ft) with a covered terrace and a large plot with enough shade (trees). I don’t see why it should become a problem now. I think heat, like noise, is very subjective. Some tolerate it more, some less.
You already convinced me to use a controlled ventilation system. Double convincing doesn’t work.
We are simply sharing our experiences and offering recommendations. Many people already live in houses similar to the one you plan to build and can share their insights. What you make of this is entirely up to you.
P.S. Unlike a mechanical ventilation system with heat recovery, air conditioning can be installed later. So you still have plenty of time to consider this. However, I have noticed that many people decide against it for completely mistaken reasons. But never mind.
