Details
The aroTHERM perform combines efficient heat pump technology with intelligent energy management for large residential buildings. Its powerful, timeless design integrates seamlessly with high-performance, low-noise technology (even at –15 °C). R290, over-the-air updates, and easy servicing ensure future readiness, while thoughtful design, high functionality, and user focus set new standards for sustainable heating.
The Jury‘s Statement
Heat pumps are the obvious choice when it comes to climate-friendly heating in detached or even multi-family homes. Vaillant’s aroTHERM perform not only takes the underlying technology to the next level but also sets a new standard in product design. For a technological device, it is unexpectedly elegant, compact, and minimalist in appearance. Added to this is its small footprint, which makes it much easier to integrate into your home. It’s also pleasing that, despite its high performance, the pump is one of the quietest units in its class. The integrated night mode, in particular, proves to be a very welcome feature, especially in densely built-up residential areas.
