Aira Heat Pump: Stylish Scandinavian Heating

Mars · 2024-03-12T09:12:49Z

Aira has introduced the Aira Heat Pump, a product designed to shift European homes away from gas heating and towards electrification, leveraging advanced smart technology and sleek design. The Aira Heat Pump is notable for several reasons, including its affordability facilitated by an all-inclusive monthly payment plan, cutting-edge technology and a pioneering 15-year ‘Comfort Guarantee’. The design, inspired by Scandinavian aesthetics, incorporates timeless elements, soft edges, intuitive lighting and a neutral colour palette, ensuring it remains stylish throughout its lifespan. The product is controlled through a smart app and sleek thermostat, emphasising a digital-first strategy. It also introduces ‘Aira Intelligence’, a smart feature set that adapts to a user’s routine, planning heating and hot water schedules with precision. This system promises up to 40% savings on heating costs and a reduction of at least 75% in CO2 emissions from the outset. Aira’s offering disrupts the market with its zero upfront cost, monthly payment model, and comprehensive ‘Comfort Guarantee’ covering performance, product and installation. This approach not only makes clean energy technology more accessible but also significantly lowers heating costs and CO2 emissions from day one. The design features ensure the pump blends into its surroundings, complemented by its quiet operation. With roots in Sweden, a country where heat pump usage is widespread and contributes minimally to CO2 emissions, Aira’s product and engineering teams bring over two decades of experience to the development of this heat pump. Based on the Aira Heat Pump Fact Sheet, here's a list of its features and benefits: Features and benefits High energy efficiency (class A+++ for both outdoor and indoor units). R290 refrigerant.

I must confess that I am unconcerned by the buffer/volumiser tank, though at the time it was another item to shoehorn into the limited space we had available.

What I do want, and not sure where to start, is to get Aira to, at least, release a API that can be used by Home Assistant, to read the ASHP operational state and consumption. At best, release a supported Home Assistant Integration. In the meantime, I am contemplating using a Shelly EM unit with CT to at least monitor the electrical consumption. There are HA integrations/HACS for Octopus, GivEnergy and I have a few Power Monitoring smart plugs for individual sockets/devices, but the consumption by the Aira system is just lumped into the "untracked consumption".

Anyone any thoughts?

Having joined the Aira owners group on Facebook (for some heat pump research I am part of), they have completely locked the system down. I’m also suspicious of the COP’s being given too. In my opinion, their designs are sub-optimal for homeowners (good for them though) and I’m sure if we had independent monitoring it would show this.

@pirate-rich Keen to hear a bit more about the erroneous COP figures. I assume you mean the stated heat outputs are wrong. The electricity delivered seems to match the power consumption shown on.our Growatt inverter. Are COPs getting inflated, or are they just wrong. Recently watched a Jonathan Tracey YouTube video who highlighted similar issues with his Daikin COP figures.

13 kWh Growatt battery

I don't know how they did it, but there is an Aira on Heatpumpmonitor: https://heatpumpmonitor.org/dashboard?id=366

It doesn't seem great, but I can't really draw a conclusion on a sample size of one.

@chandykris The Daikin app is very iffy, I take a very large shovel of salt when looking at the graphs it shows. Jonathan Tracey points out that the resolution is poor and rounding up and down is very haphazard indeed; might this be the same with other makes of HP and their apps? Toodles.

@steelbadger really interesting to see an Aira unit on Open energy monitor. I've not seen anyone's app quote such a low COP like that one. The Apps data must be getting something wrong. I'd love to know what their app figures are showing in comparison to what open energy monitor is showing.

I asked about the reassuring15 year guarantee which I have just checked now is still advertised online as a reason to buy from them. Our sales rep admitted when I asked about this said, today, Monday 6 January was the final day they were offering the 15 years guarantee which has now ended. But if we agreed a sale now we would still be able to get the 15 years guarantee.

I don’t if Aira did stop their 15 year guarantee because I’ve just been to their website and it’s still there.
