Thermia heat pumps

Air/water monoblocGround source 8 series

Thermia is a Swedish heat pump manufacturer based in Arvika; the company dates its history back to 1923 and launched its first ground-source heat pump in 1973. Its residential range consists of inverter ground-source units (Atlas, Calibra E, Calibra RXT, Sigrin, Legend) and air-to-water units (iTec E, iTec XTR, Elve), plus large heat pumps for commercial buildings. The heat pumps can be monitored through the MyThermia app. Thermia has belonged to the Stiebel Eltron group since 2018, when Danfoss sold its heat pump business.

Thermia in Zerofy

Zerofy has no integration for Thermia yet. Where a series below has an SG Ready input, Zerofy can still switch it through a Shelly relay. The heat pump comparison lists every brand Zerofy supports.

Thermia heat pump types

Air-to-water monoblock3 Ground-source (brine/water)5

Thermia Air-to-water monoblock

The whole refrigerant circuit sits in one outdoor unit; only water pipes run into the house. The most common choice for retrofits, because no refrigerant lines need to be installed inside.

Thermia Ground-source (brine/water)

Draws heat from a borehole or ground loop, so the source stays at a steady temperature all winter. Higher efficiency and no outdoor noise, but boreholes cost money and need a permit.

Heating output is the figure in the manufacturer's datasheet; the basis (nominal output at A7/W35 or B0/W35, or design heat load) differs between brands, so check the datasheet before comparing. * = design heat load Pdesignh at 35 °C from the BAFA portal.

SG Ready is a label of the Bundesverband Wärmepumpe (BWP) e.V.; “Yes” means the manufacturer documents the two-input interface or declares it on the BAFA portal, not that the series carries the BWP label – the label list is at waermepumpe.de. EEBUS is a standard of the EEBus Initiative e.V.; Modbus is a registered trademark of Schneider Electric, licensed to the Modbus Organization. Product names, logos and photos belong to their manufacturers and are shown to identify the products. Grant data: BAFA Wärmeerzeuger-Portal and Lista ZUM (IOŚ-PIB) as of the dates shown; the SCOP at 55 °C in the BAFA tables is calculated by Zerofy from the portal's ηs value.
