The effects of installing aerothermal heating in new and old homes differ significantly. This is an important consideration when preparing to purchase or make partial or complete renovations to your house.

Knowing the main characteristics and situations you need to examine is essential before you take any action. This article will assist you in weighing your options and choosing the one that best suits your needs.

What distinguishes new and old homes with aerothermal heating?

There are two main benefits of installing aerothermal heating in a new house:

Energy efficiency is emphasized in recent regulations, such as the Spanish Technical Building Code (2006), or the Regulation on Thermal Installations in Buildings (2007). These criteria are increasingly being met by new construction. This is especially beneficial for temperature control systems like aerothermal heating, which maximize possible savings by operating better at modest energy needs.

No changes to the house are necessary to install aerothermal heating. The technology was really incorporated into the design from the start, and installation activities are synchronized with every other facet of the building. As a result, there aren’t any damages, filth, lost areas for other uses, or other annoyances that come with restorations.

Finding a balance is crucial when dealing with an existing house. You must weigh the advantages of using aerothermal heating, on the one hand. However, the use of this technology will result in certain changes to your house.

Although this will be inconvenient, there might be benefits beyond the aerothermal heating itself, including encouraging further advancements. It can occasionally serve as a springboard for thinking for significant or comprehensive remodeling.

Things to look for in a new house

The aerothermal heating system is typically already installed in a new home if that is how it was intended to be, and its features cannot be changed. Before completing the purchase, you should still examine the aerothermal heating arrangement. You should specifically take into account several elements of the home’s aerothermal heating setup, such as the following:

• The aerothermal system’s effect on the ultimate cost of the house.
• the anticipated cost and energy usage reductions.
• How the layout and availability of space are impacted by the aerothermal heating system.
• whether any extra systems are needed to control the home’s temperature.
• the degree of comfort provided by the inside temperature of the house.
• reductions in emissions of harmful gases.
• each room’s degree of loudness.
• the amount of time needed to achieve the ideal environment in various usage cases.

Considerations for aerothermal heating in an existing house

You have a lot more options when it comes to choosing the kind of aerothermal heating you want in an existing house. You will therefore have to make several judgements, and several factors will affect them:

The kind of remodeling

Sometimes the objective is to reduce the amount of building that is necessary. Conventional radiators and aerothermal heating are frequently used to accomplish this. Or you might think about installing so-called ‘fan coils.’ This method loses efficiency but will help you avoid many of the problems (and perhaps advantages) of big remodeling. Higher outside temperatures will result in higher energy use.

However, it’s advisable to think about installing underfloor heating, low-temperature radiators, or a combination of the two if you’re planning a major home improvement or remodeling. These systems are durable and can save a substantial amount of money on energy expenses each year.

Elimination of outdated equipment

It is frequently essential to remove old systems and equipment from an existing home. It’s possible that you won’t require a boiler, water heater, some radiators, or even areas for storing fuel. Your ability to reuse these areas and reduce the annoyances associated with using new spaces for aerothermal heating will be crucial to the success of your makeover.

In the end, aerothermal heating is an alluring technological solution, but you and the experts working on the project will determine how effective the system is. The best assurance for the successful installation of aerothermal heating is a well-thought-out project combined with skilled construction execution.
