Inta, a UK manufacturer of heating and plumbing products, revealed its first hybrid heat pump system, Inta Hydra, last autumn. This hybrid solution offers homeowners an affordable and straightforward transition to renewable energy by seamlessly integrating an air source heat pump (ASHP) with an existing combi boiler. The Inta Hydra prioritises the ASHP as the primary heat source, switching to the combi boiler only when necessary, ensuring year-round efficiency. This hybrid system maximises renewable energy use, reduces reliance on fossil fuels, and maintains optimal comfort without requiring extensive modifications. Its efficient control logic and four preprogrammed Coefficient of Performance (COP) profiles enable tailored efficiency based on specific heating needs and conditions. Hydra is especially suitable for older properties or homes that may not benefit fully from ASHPs throughout the year.
Neil Stead, National Specification Manager at Inta, commented: "The Inta Hydra is a game-changer in hybrid heating. By combining ASHP technology with existing gas combi boilers, the Hydra makes renewable energy practical and cost-effective for homeowners. It also helps support the UK’s decarbonisation goals by accelerating the rollout of ASHP technology."
The Inta Hydra supports the specification of lower output ASHPs, further reducing costs. It eliminates the need for a hot water storage cylinder, as the combi boiler provides all hot water requirements, contributing to significant cost savings.
The Inta Hydra comes with a two-year manufacturer’s warranty for peace of mind and is the latest heat pump innovation from Inta, which has made a significant impact on the market with its range of ASHP peripheral products.
