Toshiba air-to-water heat pumps
The Japanese manufacturer has made a promise: air-to-water heat pumps that can cover 100 % of a home's heating needs by consuming only 30 % of electrical energy, the rest being drawn from the environment. Toshiba's air-to-water heat pumps are grouped in the ESTIA range, available in three versions:
- the ESTIA ECS heat pump integrated,
- the ESTIA wall-mounted heat pump
- and the ESTIA R410A wall-mounted heat pump
Overview of Toshiba's Estia air-to-water heat pump range
This range can be easily integrated into a cellar or a laundry room and can replace a fossil fuel heating system in a renovation project. Note: it has a high water flow of 65°C and even up to 60°C by -20°C outside, which allows it to offer a maximum of comfort and in particular to ensure a rise in heating of the domestic hot water in a little more than one hour (from 10 to 53°C according to Toshiba in 1h05). It can also be installed in a dual zone, with two different water outlets:
- Small power, which makes it an ideal heat pump for new construction;
- DHW tank 210L integrated in the module for a simplified installation;
- Bibloc solution R32 for a reduced carbon footprint;
- Small diameter refrigerant connections for easy installation;
- Accessible components in the front;
- Compatible with the latest generation of connected thermostats;
- Remote control via smartphone and compatibility with Google Home Assistant and Amazon Alexa voice assistants;
ESTIA is also eligible for state (MaPrimeRenov', CEE) and local government grants. The heating is designed for all emitters: underfloor heating, medium or low temperature radiators and fan coil units.
Toshiba offers power from 4 to 11kW A7/W35

On the heating side, the Toshiba ESTIA air-to-water heat pump with integrated DHW has a maximum SCOP of 4.63 and a maximum COP of 5.20 (A++). On the domestic hot water side, the COP is 3.21 (A+), a relatively satisfactory performance (without being exceptional).
At the output, the water temperature is more than correct, with 65° C at +7°C outside, and 62° C at -25° C outside for the 8 and 11 kW heat pumps. As for the sound level of the outdoor unit, count between 32 and 40 dB (A) depending on the power of the heat pump (in silent mode and at 5 meters). Count 29 dB (A) for the wall unit, and 31 dB (A) for the integrated ESTIA DHW. The heating time is estimated at 1 hour and 5 minutes (from 10 to 53°C).
| ESTIA ECS integrated | Wall unit + remote tank | |
| Volume | 210 L | 150 L - 210 L - 300 L |
| Energy class | A+ | A and A+. |
| COP ECS | Up to 3.21 | Up to 2.93 |
Please note All ESTIA units are reversible (insulated piping + condensate recovery tank). You can therefore use them to cool down in summer, with an ER up to 4.37 @ Air 35° C / Water 18°C.

Let's start our overview with this Ooreka.fr forum member: " Your Toshiba will be able to heat your entire house if its power has been calculated according to the volume to be heated ".
For his part, André Daline of the Our Planet forum explains: " For breakdowns and from my experience, Daikin has few, then Toshiba and Mitsubishi are equal, and these three brands are in the top of the basket ".
MYGSM, a member of Forum Climatisation, gives us a little comparison of the different brands of heat pumps: " Daikin : eliminated, I read too often that it is overrated, that there are problems with the after-sales service. Hitachi : eliminated, because no way to find documentation. LG/Panasonic : eliminated, no refrigerator link beyond 15 meters. Mitsubishi : retained. Toshiba : retained, well rated brand on the forums ".
Another user on the same forum explains, " Toshiba is one of the few manufacturers that makes available on its website and without prior registration the technical documentation, including the troubleshooting manuals ". This transparency is to the credit of the Japanese manufacturer.
Our advice for choosing your Toshiba heat pump
