In 2009, Håkan Eriksson bought a newly built two-story house in Knivsta, outside Stockholm.
The house was equipped with an air source heat pump and a fireplace in the large living room. According to Håkan, the air source heat pump worked well, but when they lit a fire in the fireplace, it got far too hot in the living room.
The temperature rose to almost 28 degrees Celsius, while other rooms in the house were five degrees colder. Håkan pondered for a long time how the problem of temperature differences could be solved but found no solution until recently when he was recommended to try Airmove's products in a forum.
“I've been thinking about a solution for many years.”
Håkan sent an inquiry for advice on Airmove's website and was soon called back. Over the phone, he received advice on which product would best suit his house. Airmove recommended an Airmove 2.0, which creates continuous air circulation between the house's floors and minimizes the occurrence of temperature differences between them. Håkan and his neighbor, who has a similar house, ordered one Airmove each, and after a quick delivery, it was time for installation.
Håkan installed it himself with the help of a clear and helpful instructional video and phone advice from Airmove. According to Håkan, it was an easy task to insert the vent into the ceiling, and he believes anyone can do it.
“Anyone can install an Airmove. You just need to be reasonably handy and know the house's construction.”
Today, Håkan lights a fire at six in the morning, which keeps the house warm all day. Since he works from home, he can monitor the temperature in the house and lights another fire in the evening. The temperature difference is now only 0.5 degrees between the floors, which also means that Håkan will be able to lower electricity costs in the house.
