jeegnesh · 2024-10-14T14:52:35Z

Hi new heat pump owner here, 10kw aerotherm plus, just trying to get my head around all this. I see this Green IQ logo and I notice in the setting it is active, does anyone know what it does?

@jeegnesh thanks for the photo. Here's the official reply from Vaillant in the UK in response to your question:

The aroTHERM plus doesn't have Green iQ mode, the flexoTHERM ground source heat pump features Green iQ technology for optimum efficiency, performance and sustainable credentials. The aroTHERM plus heat pump works with the environmentally friendly R290 refrigerant and is designed to deliver the very best performance with low running costs, making it suitable for radiators as well as underfloor heating. With a flow temperature of up to 75°C, the aroTHERM plus can deliver more usable hot water with high hot water comfort levels and removes the need for direct electric immersion to sterilise the water, protecting from legionella. Please feel free to message us if we can assist further.

@editor Thanks for this.

So can we safely assume that the Green IQ setting does absolutely nothing at all, on or off, when used with an Arotherm Plus ASHP?

@ectoplasmosis based on Vaillant’s, yes, that’s the way I read it.

Thank you for that information.

does beg the question why options not valid for your system need to show up.

I know the cooling options show up too but this is not on the UK model unless you add a chip or something. Would be nice if you only saw the valid options. Or maybe I need to install code I think that’s what it is called.
