Xtend monobloc hybrid
Xtend is our hybrid heating system that will revolutionise home heating. Not only is it a serious energy saver, cutting gas consumption by up to 82.5%, Xtend provides all the comfort of a traditional heating system, so the homeowner will always have heat and hot water where and when they want it.
We call Xtend a ‘hybrid’ because it combines two technologies: a gas combi boiler and a heat pump which comprises a 5kW monobloc air source heat pump (ASHP) and a compact indoor unit. The indoor unit acts as a distribution centre, connecting and controlling both the outdoor unit and the boiler during a heat demand.
The combi boiler provides the hot water and the heat pump heats the home via radiators or underfloor heating. When the temperatures drop, our smart system will alternate between the boiler and the heat pump, ensuring comfort levels are maintained and the most energy-efficient combination of appliances used. The fan in the ASHP modulates its speed to meet the heat demand, which keeps energy consumption as low as possible and, as it generates energy from the outside air, it has zero emissions, making Xtend an excellent low carbon heating system for today.
If the homeowner already has a compliant ErP combi or system boiler installed, then the Xtend monobloc can be retrofitted to it, substantially reducing the installation time, not to mention the cost. And, as the refrigerants are in a closed circuit within the heat pump, installers don’t need to have F-gas certification, as they will not be handling those refrigerants when installing or servicing the heat pump.
Please note: your customers can cut their gas consumption by up to 82.5% when Xtend monobloc is paired with any of our Intergas ErP combi boilers. They will still enjoy substantial gas savings should they choose to retrofit Xtend monobloc to their existing ErP boiler or pair it with another manufacturer’s ErP system or combi boiler.
