Hello everyone,

I am currently looking for an air-source heat pump for my house. I was offered the following system:
IDM Energy Systems: TERRA ML 8-13 Complete

Does anyone have experience with this system? Or what can be understood from the manufacturer’s descriptions?

The house is a prefabricated home (timber frame construction) with a basement, built in 1998. The location is 86456 Gablingen.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Has no one dealt with the system so far?

Or can someone extract important details from the manufacturer's specifications?

Before focusing on specific manufacturers or models, the primary step should be to determine the actual demand (capacity, energy) for heating and hot water.
For air source heat pumps, the climate location plays a crucial role.
Generally:
Moderate to poor building insulation, cold climate, and small heating surface areas are not particularly suitable for air source heat pumps!
Furthermore, for all heat pumps, a small temperature difference between the source—in this case outdoor air—and the sink (heating surfaces) is required. This means low flow temperatures to the heating system!
Hydraulics also play a significant role.
Whether all these factors are in place here is unclear!

Best regards.

Hello €uro,

The factors you mentioned have already been taken into account.

The house, as of the construction year 1998, is classified as a low-energy house. The energy calculation shows less than 10,000 kWh/a for a heated area of 177 m² (1,905 sq ft). The entire house has underfloor heating installed. The hydraulic system will be replaced. Based on the average monthly temperatures, it is rare for any month to have below-freezing average temperatures.

I hope this helps with your assessment.
