Apollo ATW heat pumps

I've got a Buderus with radiant heat throughout the house. Mini splits are getting old and looking to make some upgrades Happy with the Buderus, but I've got 42 panels of PV on the roofs and producing an excess of electricity every year and would like to put that to use relegating the Buderus to a backup unit. I figured an air to water heat pump to hook into the radiant system and while researching came across Apollo which also has mini split style wall units for both heat/cool.

Looking for experience with or opinions of the Apollo Air to Water heat exchanger systems.

The wall mounted fan systems.

I'd like to do that, but I don't see that they offer much in the way of air to water AND the fan cool units to put in the rooms.

Check out Stiebel Eltron. Price is competitive and a reputable manufacturer.

Wait for Mitsubishi, it may be a fair amount of a wait. They supposedly have been going through north america certification but I was told that several years ago. Hmmmmm. Still will be the best option I feel.

Not the same and you can not compare the two. The Apollo system is AC and Heat, Eltron is heat only.

Apollo systems were really big back in the day in Virginia while I was there. Back then it was only DWH and heat, you needed a condenser for AC. Mine worked flawless.

The Apollo condensers are rebadged Phnix heat pumps with DC Inverters. They are quality systems. I am trying to figure out WHO makes the apollo air handlers. The 6 ton unit has dehumidification, humidification, and swap cooler modes.

I haven't put my hands on one but to my eyes the Apollo air handlers also look like rebadged PHNIX.
