For more information on individual heat pumps, see our tips - What types of heat pumps do we know?

Heating and cooling with one appliance

In the face of climate change, hot spells are becoming more frequent. Heat pumps allow heating and cooling of buildings, but you need a tailored system. Cooling with a heat pump makes it possible to A properly sized low-volume, underfloor or wall-mounted heating/cooling system.

A heat pump system means comfort with a capital letter

Heating or cooling with a heat pump is extremely comfortable. It does not require time-consuming loading or cleaning of the firebox, or the provision of pellets or fuel oil. We can set up timer programmes for heating or cooling to adapt the operation to our rhythm of life. Most modern heat pumps allow the use of remote control systems via smartphone or tablet. In addition to heating or cooling rooms, heat pumps also provide enough heated domestic water throughout the year.

Most heat pumps do not require much space to operate and install. In the case of a compact unit, just a square metre or two of floor space is enough. Another advantage of a heat pump system is that there is no need for storage or fuel tanks. Heat pumps do not emit odours or gases and are beautifully designed, so they can be placed anywhere in the room. In fact, you don't need a heating plant to set up and run a heat pump.

Environmentally friendly operation

Heat pump heating harnesses renewable solar energy stored in the air, water or soil. This energy is converted into useful heating energy with minimal electricity consumption. The heat pump does not produce CO₂, so it does not pollute the environment.

The heat pump has low maintenance costs

One of the benefits of heating and cooling with a heat pump is that maintenance costs are extremely low.

You can get an EcoFund grant to invest in a heat pump

Heat pump heating is one of the renewable sources for which the government offers grants and low-cost loans. The installation of a heat pump for central space heating is eligible for grants ECO Fund up to 50 % of the eligible investment costs.
