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.

@mikeh in my 6kW outdoor unit it is not chained and also not on the feet. This was in agreement with me. So the risk of toppling are very small.

@majordennisbloodnok intriguingly the Aira control unit (in our hallway) is stated by Aira documents to use Thread which is neat but is not accessible to me.

Aqara sells some inexpensive hubs (usb dongle size) that support Matter (I think Thread as well) and may provide a simple solution you. Or you may even have an Amazon echo or Google device that can handle Thread.

If you have @gmuzz or another helpful forum member assistance to get home assistant working (pun not intended), that would be great. The HA hardware would need to be near the control unit or pump (as BLE does not work well across walls). And you can also get into a new world of using ESP32 devices that convert BLE into wifi! Both of these have steep learning curves, but in my experience are a great way to keep more of my grey cells active!
