The house was previously heated by a wood-fired boiler. <\/p>\n\n<p>In addition to the new air-to-water heat pump, the old wood-burning heating system was also kept in place. This means that Tarja can still heat her home with wood if she chooses, but the air-to-water heat pump now handles the regular heating. <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How much electricity was used during the first year?<\/h2>\n\n<p>One of the most interesting things, of course, was to see what the heat pump&#8217;s energy consumption looked like after the first year.<\/p>\n\n<p>According to the heat pump&#8217;s own energy data, a total of approximately <strong>5,355 kWh of electricity<\/strong> was consumed for heating and domestic hot water.<\/p>\n\n<p>Of this, domestic hot water accounted for approximately <strong>346 kWh<\/strong>, and home heating for approximately <strong>5,009 kWh<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<p>The use of electric heaters had also remained very limited.<\/p>\n\n<p>This is a good example of why it\u2019s so important to size a heat pump correctly and choose the right type of unit. Especially in older homes with radiator heating, you need to make sure that the specifications of the heat pump you choose actually match your home\u2019s heating needs. <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why did Tarja choose OmaWati?<\/h2>\n\n<p>Tarja originally found OmaWati through Facebook.<\/p>\n\n<p>He had no prior experience with heating systems for single-family homes, so when purchasing a heat pump, it was important that everything be thoroughly explained and that he be told why that particular solution was the right fit for his home.<\/p>\n\n<p>Tarja also says she carefully considered the purchase price. The system they chose wasn&#8217;t among the cheapest, and she had heard comments afterward suggesting they had paid too much for the heat pump. <\/p>\n\n<p>After her first year, however, Tarja has not regretted her decision.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>\u201cI haven\u2019t been dissatisfied at all. I haven\u2019t had to do a thing to keep the place warm.\u201d <\/strong><\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Has there been enough heat this winter?<\/h2>\n\n<p>This is, of course, one of the most important issues in an older house with radiator heating.<\/p>\n\n<p>According to Tarja, there has been plenty of heat throughout the winter.<\/p>\n\n<p>He had also been shown how to raise the indoor temperature if necessary, but there was no need to do so during the first year.<\/p>\n\n<p>And that is exactly what we want from a heating system that works well.<\/p>\n\n<p>Customers shouldn&#8217;t have to constantly worry about how their heat pump is working or adjust the system. The home should simply stay warm. <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">After-sales service was also important to Tarja<\/h2>\n\n<p>Tarja also brought up one thing that\u2019s easy to overlook when buying a heat pump.<\/p>\n\n<p>What happens after the device is installed?<\/p>\n\n<p>During the first year, there were a few situations where things needed to be checked. It was important to Tarja that she could get help and that someone would answer the phone whenever she had a question. <\/p>\n\n<p><strong>\u201cEverything has gone smoothly. You\u2019ve always answered the phone and explained things whenever I\u2019ve asked a question.\u201d <\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>Tarja said she was satisfied with the overall experience and would recommend OmaWatt to others as well.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Year with an Air-to-Water Heat Pump<\/h2>\n\n<p>So, after the first year, Tarja&#8217;s experiences have been really positive.<\/p>\n\n<p>The house has stayed warm; we\u2019ve needed to use the electric heater only a little, and the heat pump\u2019s total consumption for heating and hot water was about 5,355 kWh.<\/p>\n\n<p>And perhaps most importantly, Tarja hasn&#8217;t had to worry about heating herself.<\/p>\n\n<p>This example clearly illustrates why, when purchasing an air-to-water heat pump, it\u2019s worth considering more than just the price of the unit.<\/p>\n\n<p>When a heat pump is properly sized, a unit suitable for the home&#8217;s needs is selected, and the customer receives support even after installation, the end result is a heating system whose function is quite simple.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Keeps your home warm without unnecessary adjustments.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This time, the Pump School team visited Kylm\u00e4koski to say hello to Tarja and see how the Daikin air-to-water heat pump, installed about a year ago, has performed during its first year of operation.
