Before getting to the heart of the matter, let us recall the advantages of a heat pump:
Before thinking about installing a heat pump, we advise you first to draw up an energy assessment of your home and, if necessary, to tackle the building envelope as a priority (especially if it is rated in category F & G).
Here are the essential steps to carry out your installation successfully:
Every house is different. First, we advise you to analyse your building: insulation, surface to be heated, distribution system (radiators, underfloor heating), geographical situation, etc.
There are several types of ecological heating. The choice of heat pump depends on your house and your budget:
In Switzerland, installing a heat source often requires a request to the municipality or the canton, especially for geothermal drilling or visible outdoor units.
The subsidies offered by the Confederation and the cantons actively encourage the replacement of old heating systems with more sustainable and ecological solutions.
Once the model has been chosen and the authorisations obtained, the following work is planned:
On average, the complete process of installing a heat pump lasts between 4 and 8 weeks. This includes:
When deciding to install a heat pump, the question of noise is often at the heart of concerns. Even though the thermodynamic system represents an ecological and economical solution, its outdoor unit can generate a certain level of noise, especially in urban areas or in housing estates.
Nuisance for residents: constant or excessive noise can quickly become a source of stress and discomfort.
Neighbourhood disputes: local regulations often set maximum thresholds for the noise emitted by outdoor equipment.
The compressor is the noisiest part, as it runs to extract heat from the air. Then the fan blows air through the heat exchangers.
Once the heat pump is installed, our technicians carry out the commissioning, performance tests and temperature settings.
Well-installed heat pumps are reliable, but they require regular maintenance to remain efficient.
