Discover how aerothermal energy with radiators can be an efficient and sustainable solution for your home. The OMNIA Life M range from Ferroli offers an ideal alternative for those who wish to replace their boiler without modifying the existing installation, ensuring optimal performance and energy savings.

If you are looking for an efficient alternative to your current heating system without changing the radiators, aerothermal energy with radiators may be the best option. Although aerothermal energy is traditionally associated with underfloor heating, this system can also be integrated with radiators to offer efficient and sustainable heating.

In this article, we will explain how aerothermal energy with radiators works, what its advantages are, and why the OMNIA Life M range from Ferroli is an optimal solution for those who wish to replace their boiler without modifying the existing installation.

What is aerothermal energy and how does it work with radiators?

Aerothermal energy is a heating system that extracts energy from the outside air to heat the water circulating through the heating system, whether underfloor heating or radiators. It operates through an air-water heat pump, which consumes a small amount of electricity to generate a much higher energy performance than a conventional boiler.

In the case of radiators, aerothermal energy replaces the traditional boiler, heating the water and distributing it throughout the installation. However, there is an important difference:

Conventional radiators usually operate with water at temperatures of 60-70 ºC.
Standard heat pumps work at lower temperatures, between 40-50 ºC, which can affect the performance of the radiators.

To solve this difference, there are two options:

Install low-temperature radiators, which offer the same heat emission using water at a lower temperature.
Use a high-temperature aerothermal system, capable of heating water up to 75 ºC, ensuring the performance of existing radiators.

If you want to maintain the radiator installation without modifications, the best option is to choose a high-temperature aerothermal system, such as the OMNIA Life M range from Ferroli.

Benefits of aerothermal with radiators

Opting for aerothermal with radiators offers multiple advantages:

Savings on the energy bill: aerothermal systems can reduce consumption by up to 50% compared to conventional heating systems.
Use of renewable energy: harnesses the heat from outside air to generate heating, reducing CO₂ emissions.
Greater safety: by not using fossil fuels, it eliminates risks of gas leaks, fires, or carbon monoxide poisoning.
Less maintenance: requires a simple annual check-up, without the cleaning and smoke control operations of a gas or oil boiler.
Versatility: allows integration with existing heating systems without the need to change radiators.
Greater stability in energy costs: does not depend on the variability of gas or oil prices.

When is it advisable to install aerothermal with radiators?

This system is an excellent option in the following cases:

Replacement of gas or oil boilers without needing to modify the radiator installation.
Single-family homes or apartments with good thermal insulation seeking to improve energy efficiency.
Renovation projects that must comply with energy efficiency regulations.
Properties where the use of gas is to be avoided for safety reasons or to eliminate supply contracts.
Installations that want to combine aerothermal energy with solar energy to maximize energy savings.

Conclusion

Aerothermal energy with radiators is an efficient and sustainable alternative to conventional heating systems. Although traditional heat pumps do not always reach the temperatures needed for conventional radiators, solutions like the OMNIA Life M range from Ferroli offer hot water up to 75 ºC, allowing a direct replacement of boilers without loss of thermal comfort.

If you are looking to reduce your energy consumption and modernize your heating system without major renovations, Ferroli OMNIA Life M is one of the best options on the market. At GroupSumi, you can find this range and take the step towards more efficient and sustainable heating.
