Dear all,
I am currently facing a delivery issue with my heat pump (Vaillant Arotherm Plus VWL 75/6), which is not available from any dealer and according to the manufacturer will likely only be delivered in calendar week 6 of 2022. With winter approaching and my heating technician now using his instantaneous water heater at another customer’s place, the situation is becoming quite problematic. He is offering me a 5 kW (kilowatt) fan heater as a temporary solution, but I’m concerned that this will lead to very high energy costs.
For this reason, I have come up with the idea of getting a readily available monoblock heat pump to use just as a temporary measure until my Vaillant arrives. There seems to be a Panasonic model (probably from the series of the well-known and widely recommended “Geisha”) which appears to be suitable and is available at a reasonable price (around 3500 EUR). I would then resell it afterwards.
However, since the market for used heat pumps is rather small, I wonder whether this will really be cheaper than heating electrically with direct heating for three months. I have roughly calculated that in the worst case, I would have to expect heating costs of 2500-3000 EUR with electric direct heating (depending on extent and weather conditions).
Does anyone here have experience with this?
@Benutzer200, if I remember correctly, you once installed a Panasonic unit? Did you happen to sell it later on?
Well, I hope someone has faced a similar problem and can share their experience.
Kind regards
Tolentino

Ok. Thanks. Quickly looked it up, saw the price, and my interest immediately disappeared. 😉My heating technician wrote the controller that was planned so far well... so the extra cost wasn’t too bad for me... and with the high building costs, such an expense hardly stands out anymore.OWLer schrieb:

I have the Sensocomfort installed in the heating basement. It’s good for my fitness, but honestly, I’m quite lazy...The question is whether the heating basement is the ideal location for the Sensocomfort. This device measures the set “desired temperature” as a reference for the respective room. Since the temperature in the heating basement is probably different from the rest of the house, the location is actually suboptimal.
On the other hand, you probably perform the hydraulic balancing room by room, so the set desired temperature mainly represents a relative value.
Regarding wireless connectivity, I recommend simply upgrading with the "Vaillant Internet Module sensoNET VR 921" for about 200 EUR. This way, you can control everything through an app and gain additional insights and consumption statistics...

Hello,
I control my air source heat pump through the app. It’s convenient, and I can check on the system from anywhere.I haven’t installed the app yet. I’m curious myself. The online reviews aren’t very encouraging.
I have been using it for almost a year now and, for my needs, I am satisfied.
As I mentioned before, it shows me a lot of information, and I have even been able to see an error message (and the issue with the system).
The settings are easy to understand and adjust. I don’t want more than that.
The detailed settings are handled by the professional dealer level anyway, and those won’t be shown to you there.
So I can speak from some experience. 🙂
