Heating system refurbishment in refugee home

Listed house in Biberwier, Tyrol

Customer’s Need:

The listed property was completely unheated for years and had to quickly receive a contemporary, cost-effective heating system. The starting point was problematic since the building is uninsulated with old box-type windows. Operation and controllability should be simple and not require additional effort.

easyTherm Solution:

Assembly and commissioning took place within 2 weeks as requested. It was excellent cooperation with the easyTherm electrical partner that made this possible.

Customer Testimonial“Problem: How to shelter war refugees in a 300-year-old listed house?
  • Which hasn’t been inhabited for 30 years
  • Time window of 10 days
  • Moving date 1st week in February

Solution to the problem: An appointment with the representative from easyTherm was agreed on Friday evening. The property was inspected, the necessary solution presented – and approved quickly by the company owner, a special shift was started to meet the very tight deadline. Delivery, installation and commissioning was completely organised by easyTherm.

10 days later the premises can be moved into at 20°C. The Biberwier refugee home offers accommodation for 10 people from Armenia, Syria, Iraq and the Congo. Each living space is excellently equipped and the residents are very happy with the cosy warmth of the easyTherm heating system.
