Key highlights
⚡
14 kW — large home and commercial scale
Where residential units (7–11 kW) fall short for large detached homes, converted properties or light commercial buildings, the Altherma 3 R W 14 kW delivers the output needed
🔗
Cascadable for 28 kW+
Two units can be linked and controlled as a single system — providing up to 28 kW of heat output for larger commercial or community projects
🏢
Full BMS integration
BACnet and Modbus connectivity allows integration with building management systems in commercial premises, schools and community buildings
🏠 Suitable for
Large detached homes 250m²+Commercial premisesMulti-unitSchoolsCommunity buildings
Compatibility note: Yes — up to 65°C, cascadable for larger outputs. A SEAI-registered heat pump installer will complete a heat loss assessment and radiator compatibility check before installation — this is required as part of the grant process.
✅ What we like
- 14 kW output — suited to homes over 250m² or light commercial premises
- Cascadable — two units can be linked for 28 kW+ output
- Operates to −25°C — reliable cold-weather performance
- Full BACnet and Modbus support for BMS integration
- SEAI grant eligible — community grants may supplement individual unit grant
- Nationwide Daikin commercial service network
⚠️ Worth knowing
- Heavy at 140 kg — specialist lifting equipment required
- 55 dBA — louder than residential units, check local planning conditions
- Higher installed cost (~€18,000) for a larger building requirement
💧 Compatible hot water cylinders
The Altherma 3 R W 14 kW requires a separately purchased hot water cylinder with a large primary coil (minimum 2.5 m²) to work efficiently at heat pump flow temperatures of 45–55°C. These cylinders are confirmed compatible with Daikin heat pumps. Browse all cylinders →

🔋 Pair with battery storage — run your heat pump on solar
The most cost-effective way to run a heat pump in Ireland: pair with solar panels and a home battery. Solar generates free electricity during the day; the battery stores surplus for evening and overnight heat pump operation — reducing your annual electricity bill by 70–85%. Browse all batteries →

💰 SEAI Solar + Battery grant: The SEAI Solar PV Home Grant covers up to €1,800 for solar panel installation. Combined with the heat pump grant (up to €12,500) and the EV home charger grant (€300), the maximum SEAI support for a complete solar + heat pump + EV system is approximately €14,600.
🚐 Complete your fleet — electric vans for your business
SEAI grants and ACA relief — tackle both in the same tax year. See all 205+ vehicles in the EV Vehicle Directory.
🌡️ Commercial heat pump + electric fleet — lower your two biggest costs together
SEAI van grants of €7,600 per vehicle — both technologies are Accelerated Capital Allowance eligible in the same tax year.
📊 Combined ACA: Commercial heat pump + electric vans — both eligible for 100% ACA write-off in year one. SEAI grants apply to both.
Featured electric commercial vehicles — SEAI van grant eligible
☀️ Pair with solar panels — maximise your SEAI grants in Ireland
A heat pump and solar panels are the most powerful renewable combination available to Irish businesses today. Your Daikin heat pump runs entirely on electricity — solar generates that electricity from your roof at zero cost. Both qualify for substantial SEAI grants. See the full Solar Panel Directory for all models available in Ireland.
💰 Commercial heat pump + solar — combined grant opportunity
Commercial properties installing both a heat pump and solar may qualify for multiple grant schemes simultaneously. Solar via SEAI Non-Domestic Microgen or TAMS III (agri, up to 60%); heat pump via SEAI Better Energy Communities or commercial heat pump grants. An Accelerated Capital Allowance (ACA) write-off may also apply to both technologies in year one, significantly improving cash flow and project ROI.
Why solar + heat pump for commercial buildings: A heat pump moves 3–5 units of heat for every unit of electricity consumed (COP 3–5). When that electricity is generated by your rooftop solar, the heating cost is near zero during solar generation hours. For hotels, schools and offices with daytime occupancy, solar generation and heating demand align closely — maximising self-consumption and minimising the payback period on both investments.
