Single-family house in Klaus (AT) relies on geothermal energy with separatus
In Klaus, in Vorarlberg, Austria, a single-family home built in 1954 was successfully converted from an oil and wood heating system to a modern heat pump solution. Energy is supplied by a geothermal probe array with two separate probes. The existing garden was completely preserved.
Thanks to the slim boreholes and easy handling of the separatus system, installation was quick and clean. The probes can be inserted directly into the borehole, without the need for additional lifting equipment or complex assembly work. Connection to the distributor is also space-saving and efficient. This advantage is particularly crucial for existing outdoor systems.
- Probes: 2 x 100 meters
- Bore: Hammer bore with 114 mm diameter
- Geology: Sandstone, groundwater from 40 meters below ground level
- Backfill: Thermally optimized with Fischer Geofluid
- Heat pump: Stiebel Eltron WPE-I 12 H 230 Premium with up to 12.7 kilowatts of heating output
- Building: Approximately 100 square meters of living space and approximately 50 square meters of basement space
- Modernization: Windows were replaced around 20 years ago, otherwise no structural interventions
The combination of efficient drilling technology and a well-thought-out system design demonstrates how easy it is to convert to geothermal energy, even in existing buildings. The time and cost savings during installation are significant, and this geothermal system can save a significant amount of money in the long term. Since commissioning, the system has been running smoothly and has already successfully weathered several winters.
