In this module, you will learn about three key homeowner-focused benefits to help start conversations with your customers about the advantages of the ALPHA and UPSe range.

Lower energy costs
Reduced call backs for homeowners
AUTOADAPT for optimal comfort

Let’s begin by looking at the energy rating of the pumps. The ALPHA and UPSe pumps have been rated with an energy rating of 193 which is currently the best energy rating on the market.

With energy ratings of 193, both pumps can offer your customers optimal comfort at the lowest possible energy cost. An annual savings calculation based on replacing a non-ECM circulator... with an ALPHA or UPSe pump of the same performance suggests the product range can save your customers... 45 dollars a year.

Next, we will explore how ALPHA pumps can reduce call backs and save homeowners' time. If there is a problem with an ALPHA pump, you can troubleshoot and solve issues using the Grundfos Go app. Just turn on your Bluetooth on your smart device and connect the pump.  Once connected, you can access historical trend data for flow, head, temperature, and on-cycle durations via the app. This helps you find and solve the root cause of pump and system issues by analyzing trend data.

It is also possible to set preventative controls through the app. As an example, you can enable the system air vent feature to trigger whenever air is detected. This reduces the chance that homeowners will call the installer back, saving them time and delivering peace of mind.

And finally, we will cover how ALPHA pumps deliver optimal comfort. Incorrect pump settings often lead to… excessive energy consumption, discomfort and/or noise in system. But with the AUTOADAPT feature, ALPHA pumps can analyze the load on the heating system … and automatically choose the best set point for the control curve to ensure maximum indoor comfort…  minimum energy consumption throughout the year, and annual cost savings. That covers the key ALPHA and UPSe benefits for homeowners.
