The geothermal heat pump will be called Calibra Eco and will therefore be the first geothermal heat pump with a more environmentally friendly alternative, R452B, than the usual refrigerants.

In addition to the fact that Thermia has replaced the refrigerant, the pump should also not need as much refrigerant as similar geothermal heat pumps, thanks to its design.

With this geothermal heat pump, Thermia increases its power range on the geothermal heat pump side so that they cover 4-16 kW.

Otherwise, the pump must consist of the same functions as the predecessor Calibra.

Easyserv announces that you can now avoid the monthly cost after investing in their product. Easyserv sells and offers their customers to connect their heat pump and then, if they want, be able to have monitoring from a "Digital Service Technician", but this costs extra. In the free version (i.e. after you have purchased the hardware with gateway with Wifi/Ethernet connection), an app is included where you can see how your heat pump performs with operating data. You can also change settings on the heat pump remotely, which can be good when you have to come home from vacation to ensure the right temperature when you get home.

The hardware can be purchased online via easyserv and, among others, jsenergi for approx. SEK 1,970 including VAT. It can also in some cases be bought from the local heat pump company, so ask them if you use a particular one. If you want the digital service technician, you need to pay (at the time of writing) SEK 119/month.
