In 2009, Håkan Eriksson bought a newly produced two-story villa in Knivsta outside Stockholm. The house was equipped with an air source heat pump and a stove in the large living room. According to Håkan, the air source heat pump worked well, but when they built a fire in the stove, it got way too hot in the living room.
The temperature rose to 28 degrees, while other rooms in the house were five degrees colder. Håkan thought for a long time about how the problem with temperature differences could be solved but did not find a solution until recently when he was recommended in a forum to test Airmove's products.
“I have been thinking about a solution for many years.”
Håkan submitted a request for advice on Airmove's website and was shortly called. Over the phone, he received advice on which product would be best for his particular house. Airmove recommended an Airmove 2.0 which creates a continuous air circulation between the floors of the house and minimizes the occurrence of temperature differences between the floors. Håkan and his neighbor who has a similar house each ordered an Airmove and after a quick delivery it was time for installation.
Håkan did the installation himself with the help of a clear and good instructional film and telephone advice with Airmove. According to Håkan, it was a simple match to insert the valve in the ceiling and believes that anyone can do it.
“Everyone can install an Airmove. It is enough to be reasonably handy and to know the construction of the house."
Today, Håkan makes a fire at six in the morning, which keeps the house warm all day. Because he works from home, he can monitor the temperature in the house and just in time for the evening, he lights another fire. The temperature difference is now only 0.5 degrees between the floors, which also means that Håkan will be able to lower the electricity costs in the house.
