KRONOTERM is a Slovenian company specializing in the development of
heat pumps for heating, cooling, and domestic hot water production, intended for both residential applications and commercial and industrial buildings. With more than fifty years of experience in thermal technology, the brand stands out for an approach that combines advanced engineering, in-house research, and close attention to the architectural integration of its systems. Founded as a small family workshop dedicated to the development of its first heat pump, KRONOTERM has progressively expanded its activity to become a European company specialized in high energy-efficiency solutions. At the heart of the company’s philosophy is the idea that technology should be not only high-performing, but also consistent with the language of contemporary architecture, from both a functional and aesthetic point of view.
KRONOTERM heat pumps for residential and commercial architecture
KRONOTERM production includes air-to-water heat pumps, geothermal heat pumps, and systems for domestic hot water, designed to ensure high energy efficiency, living comfort, and reduced consumption. The company’s solutions are used in private homes, multifamily buildings, offices, industrial facilities, and commercial contexts, with systems developed to adapt to the different energy requirements of buildings.
Among its most representative products is the
ADAPT line, designed to make thermal technology almost invisible within the architectural project. Extremely quiet operation and essential design allow the units to integrate harmoniously with outdoor spaces and the building envelope. The available material finishes, including Corten, Black, and Stainless Steel, transform the outdoor unit into an element consistent with the aesthetic language of contemporary architecture. The ADAPT series was developed to ensure installation flexibility, high heating and cooling performance, and low operating costs.
Alongside the ADAPT line, the catalog includes
ETERA geothermal heat pumps, designed to ensure long service life and high energy efficiency, and the VERSI range, developed for buildings with space limitations and characterized by compact dimensions and flexible installation. The company also creates customized systems for industrial applications and waste heat recovery, with solutions dedicated to production sectors, agriculture, and commercial facilities.
KRONOTERM: research, in-house development, and technological innovation
KRONOTERM’s history began in 1976 with the development of the first heat pump created by founder Rudi Kronovšek. From that first technical project developed in a family garage, the company has built, over time, a production and technological structure entirely oriented toward research in renewable energy and energy efficiency. Today KRONOTERM develops research, design, testing, and production in-house, maintaining complete control over the entire product life cycle.
From its headquarters and research center in Slovenia, the brand develops systems that combine reliability, technological innovation, and environmental sustainability. The work of the in-house team of engineers and developers focuses on optimizing energy performance, reducing noise levels, and designing systems intended to last over time. Production also includes tailor-made solutions for large-scale systems, such as the geothermal system developed for the Lušt greenhouses, considered one of the largest heat pump installations in Slovenia, designed to improve energy efficiency and reduce the environmental impact of production facilities.
Attention to design, construction quality, and energy efficiency has helped define KRONOTERM’s identity within the European landscape of thermal technologies, offering systems that integrate technical performance, living comfort, and compatibility with contemporary architecture.
