  • Annual output thermal 13,289kWh

Net Outputs

  • Electrical 3,162kWh/annum
  • Thermal 10,946kWh/annum

Thermal Storage:

185lt Integrated solar tank (integral to the Genvex Unit) together with a 1,850lt thermal store.

Genvex Combi 185 EC MVHR / Air to Water heat pump / cylinder

The Combi is a combined heat recovery ventilation appliance. It is equipped with high efficient supply and extract air fans, together with a counter-flow heat exchanger with an efficiency of up to 95%. The air source heat pump heats the supply air and domestic hot water, prioritising the hot water. The hot water cylinder can as an option be connected to a second heat source, e.g. solar panels. The unit is delivered with a F5 supply and extract air filter and Optima 310 control.
