Nilan Compact P – The All-in-One Home Climate and Hot Water Solution
The Nilan Compact P is a complete indoor-climate system that combines ventilation, heat recovery, and domestic hot-water generation within a single, compact cabinet. By merging these essential functions, it helps homes achieve a consistent temperature, fresh filtered air, and a reliable supply of hot water — all while lowering running costs and saving valuable space.
Perfect for modern homes, apartments, and low-energy buildings, the Compact P continually recycles warmth from extracted air and transfers it to incoming fresh air and hot-water production. The result is a quieter, cleaner, and more energy-efficient living environment with fewer moving parts to install, service, or control.
Why Choose a Nilan Compact P Combined System
Traditional homes rely on separate ventilation units, boilers, and water-heating cylinders — each requiring its own space, wiring, and maintenance. The Nilan Compact P simplifies all of this. By uniting these systems under one coordinated design, it reduces the number of components, streamlines installation, and improves the way energy is managed throughout the property.
Homeowners gain multiple benefits:
Lower energy consumption: recovered heat is reused rather than wasted.
Compact footprint: perfect for properties with limited space.
Simplified servicing: only one appliance to maintain, with fewer external connections.
Integrated intelligence: one controller manages everything automatically, responding to temperature, humidity, and occupancy levels.
For developers and installers, the Nilan Compact P also means fewer cables, pipes, and commissioning stages — an attractive option for both new builds and deep retrofits aiming to meet tight efficiency targets.
Intelligent Heat Recovery
A high-efficiency counterflow heat exchanger lies at the heart of the Nilan Compact P. As stale air is extracted from kitchens, bathrooms, and living areas, this exchanger captures the majority of the heat energy that would normally be lost through ventilation. That recovered warmth pre-heats the fresh air entering the home, ensuring maximum comfort with minimal additional heating.
In summer, an integrated bypass damper diverts air around the exchanger to prevent unnecessary heating and provide free cooling when outdoor temperatures drop at night. This intelligent balancing act helps keep indoor air fresh all year round while maintaining exceptional energy efficiency.
Integrated Heat Pump for Domestic Hot Water
The Nilan Compact P also includes a built-in heat pump that recycles residual heat from exhaust air to heat your domestic water supply. The process is highly efficient, transforming what would otherwise be wasted energy into useful hot water for daily use.
The unit automatically regulates temperature for both safety and comfort, with built-in protection against overheating and bacterial growth. Optional connections let you integrate renewable systems such as solar thermal panels or ground-source loops, further increasing efficiency and reducing dependence on the grid.
In practical terms, the integrated approach eliminates the need for a separate hot-water cylinder or boiler. It also ensures that the energy used for ventilation contributes directly to water heating, reducing overall consumption.
Compact, Quiet, and Installation-Friendly
One of the biggest advantages of the Nilan Compact P is its discreet footprint. Designed to fit into a utility room, cupboard, or plant space, it replaces several traditional appliances with one vertical unit.
The cabinet features sound-insulated panels and variable-speed fans that adapt automatically to the home’s ventilation demand, keeping background noise to a minimum — even at higher airflow rates. Filters are front-loading and easy to replace, making maintenance quick and straightforward.
Because the ventilation, heat recovery, and hot-water systems are already integrated, installation requires minimal pipework and fewer electrical circuits, saving both space and setup time for installers.
Smart Control and Grid-Ready Operation
At the centre of the Nilan Compact P’s intelligence is its digital control system. This advanced interface constantly monitors airflow, humidity, and temperature, adjusting operation in real time to ensure ideal comfort conditions.
The unit’s Smart-Grid compatibility allows it to interact with modern energy networks and renewable technologies. When paired with solar panels or variable-tariff electricity, the Compact P can shift energy-intensive operations — like hot-water heating — to times when electricity is cheaper or greener.
Home automation enthusiasts can integrate the system into broader smart-home setups, allowing real-time data monitoring, performance logging, and tailored scheduling to suit lifestyle patterns.
