The hotel is busy all year round, so when the hotel was renovated in 2003, attention was paid to optimising costs, that`s why the water heating system was replaced. Before the change, the water was heated by gas, with an annual energy consumption of €2794 in 2016. Due to the need to reduce costs, as they consume 850 L of water per day, they decided to install three 450 L S-Max interconnected sanitary heat pumps. Should the need for additional units arise, they can be cascaded at any time. With our system, we can thus provide an unlimited amount of hot water.

COST REDUCED BY MORE THAN 3X

The owners are extremely satisfied with the new DHW heating system, as they have reduced their electricity costs by more than 3x. In 2017, the cost was €764 per year, which covered 3 heating seasons compared to the previous year’s cost. As the frequency and consumption of hot water varies greatly by day, they can further optimise the costs and set the schedule by managing the heat pump via the Cloud.KRONOTERM app.
