Glattbrugg (CH), Magstadt (D) - September 18, 2023
500,000 installed heat pumps per year - that is the German government's target from 2024. If the mark is to be reached, outdated market structures must be broken through and replaced by innovative ideas. The young heat pump company Regli Energy Systems AG - Regli for short - is convinced of this: Founded in 2017, the greentech is rethinking the technology behind the heating system. Regli is also going its own way with regard to sales and cooperation with SHK businesses (sanitary, heating and air-conditioning trades).
The founders Julian Münzel (CEO) and Thomas Regli (CTO) are behind the company. Regli has its headquarters in Glattbrugg in the canton of Zurich in Switzerland; the innovative heat pumps are developed there. Production of the heating systems, in turn, takes place in Germany, namely in Magstadt near Stuttgart. From there, the heat pumps are supplied to the DACH region both for the single-family sector and for companies and municipalities - here in the form of large-scale systems.
NovaAir with 25 percent lower power consumption
"As a technology company, we think of heat pumps from the software perspective," says Julian Münzel. He adds that Regli's proprietary high-tech RegliControl Logic software ensures that Regli's heating systems operate at maximum efficiency. "The NovaAir is our best-selling heat pump, and in a market comparison it is among the most innovative of its kind," says the Regli CEO, explaining, "Thanks to the combination of the refrigerant R290 propane, a very large-area air heat exchanger and the optimal link with our software, the NovaAir consumes up to 25 percent less electricity than other heat pumps." R290 propane is a natural refrigerant that also produces only a fraction of CO2 emissions compared to synthetic refrigerants.
In the purchasing process, service and customer friendliness are Regli's top priorities. Private individuals, companies and municipalities can purchase the heat pumps directly from Greentech. All information - from how the heating systems work to the costs - is provided transparently on the website. If a customer cannot raise the money for a heat pump at once, Regli makes financing in installments possible. "No one should take out an extra bank loan to be able to buy a heat pump from us. We want to make the heat turnaround possible for everyone - and that's why we also offer installment financing as a manufacturer," says Julian Münzel.
Digital twins facilitate installation and maintenance
As far as the installation of the heat pumps is concerned, Regli provides several routes. On the one hand, the company works closely with various SHK companies throughout Germany, which handle the installation of the heating systems in their respective regions. On the other hand, however, customers should also be able to go to the local installation company they trust. In this case, Regli contacts the respective company and provides the installation team with all the information they need to install the heat pumps.
Here, too, RegliControl Logic provides a decisive added value, because: Thanks to the software, each heat pump system can be represented as a virtual object in the form of a digital twin. This makes it much easier for SHK companies to install and maintain the heat pumps. "In the future, we will additionally build up our own installation teams so that we can drive the heat turnaround with even more personnel," says Julian Münzel. Regli currently has 17 employees.
Aesthetic and individual design
Regli is also the first heat pump manufacturer to offer a color configurator. This allows customers to choose between different colors for their heat pump. "With us, there are no off-the-shelf heat pumps. For each application, we look individually at which of our heating systems fits best. And this also includes the appropriate aesthetics with the desired color look," the CEO elaborates. Regli customers can currently choose between the colors Silver, White and Black.
