Do you also want to lower your energy bill and have a comfortable indoor climate? Consider a heat pump. A heat pump heats (and cools) your home and provides hot tap water. Heat pumps last a long time and are a sustainable solution.

You use gas to heat your home and hot water from your tap and shower. But in the Netherlands we eventually have to get rid of gas. That is why it is smart to look for alternative solutions. A heat pump is such a solution. With a heat pump you no longer heat your house with natural gas as with a central heating boiler, but with electricity. As a result, you will use less gas or even no gas at all. That is more sustainable and cost effective.

Another advantage of some heat pumps is that you can also cool your home, provided your delivery system is suitable for this.

This naturally ensures an extra comfortable indoor climate in the summer. During cooling, the process is reversed in the heat pump. Instead of extracting heat from the outside air or soil to heat your home, cooling takes heat from your home and transfers it outside or back into the soil via the heat pump.

The water that flows through, for example, floor pipes ensures that the home reaches a pleasant temperature. This pleasant way of cooling is also called active or passive cooling.

It is true that heat pumps, like many other household appliances, make noise. The noise mainly comes from the compressor. This sucks in air from the environment and puts pressure on it. In fact, it creates air pressure. Just think of a fan. This pushes air into space, as it were, and this makes noise. With the air/water heat pump and the ventilation heat pump, the fan of the heat pump (also referred to as the 'outdoor unit') causes the most noise.

There is no clear answer to whether your home is suitable for installing a heat pump. Experience shows that most homes after 1990 are usually suitable.

We at HeaTech will therefore always examine the situation on site and discuss your wishes with you. To switch to a heat pump, it is in any case important that your home is well insulated and draft-tight. It is also important that the climate system is suitable for low temperature heating. Think of underfloor heating and/or low temperature radiators.

A heat pump produces heating water with a temperature of approximately 55°C. That is usually insufficient for 'ordinary' radiators.

If you do not have underfloor heating and your house is less well insulated, a hybrid heat pump may be a good solution. Thanks to the cooperation with a central heating boiler, your home is still sufficiently heated.

Installing a heat pump is always custom work. HeaTech looks at the capacity you need to comfortably heat your home and at the place to place the heat pump.

Experience shows that we almost always have a suitable solution for every situation.
