Curious about heat pumps? You’ve probably heard they're the most efficient and eco-friendly way to heat, cool, and provide hot water for your home. But if you’re new to the idea, you likely have a few key questions: “Is a heat pump right for my home?” “What’s involved in installation?” “Are they only for big houses, or do they work in apartments too?” Let’s break it down and help you find the perfect fit for your space!

Whether you're building a new home, renovating, or exploring ways to boost your home’s energy efficiency and save money, you're in the right place! If you're tired of the yearly stress over rising energy costs and looking for smarter, sustainable alternatives, this is the guide you've been waiting for.

We've gathered all the answers to the most common questions you’re asking!

So, what exactly is a heat pump?

An air-to-water heat pump, designed to replace traditional gas or oil heating systems, connects to a home’s water network to efficiently handle heating, cooling, and domestic hot water needs. Ideal for both residential and larger spaces, it provides year-round comfort—warmth in the winter, cool air in the summer, and hot water whenever you need it.

What is the specificity of a heat pump that makes it the most economical solution?

A heat pump stands out for its exceptional efficiency in heating and cooling. It absorbs heat from the outside air—even in temperatures as low as -25°C—and delivers it into your home, using just 1 kW of electricity to provide up to 5 kW of thermal energy. This process of transferring rather than generating heat results in significant savings and is more environmentally friendly compared to traditional systems. In the summer, the heat pump reverses this process, expelling heat from your space to keep you cool. By leveraging aerothermal energy, heat pumps are recognized as a renewable energy source, making them an economical and sustainable choice for year-round comfort.

I live in an apartment. Can I install a heat pump?

Absolutely, you can install a heat pump in your apartment. Inventor heat pumps are crafted with comfort in mind and feature a compact design that fits into even the tightest spaces. Their innovative design ensures they can be installed in areas with limited room. Plus, they can heat water up to 65°C, making them compatible with existing radiators that many apartments already have. This makes them a versatile and practical choice for enhancing comfort in your living space.

What is the cost and installation time of a heat pump?

Since no excavation or drilling is needed, as with geothermal systems, installing a heat pump is straightforward and like setting up a conventional air conditioner. This means lower installation costs, which can vary depending on the specific application. There's no need for a boiler room, fuel storage space, chimney, or additional ventilation. The system comes complete with all necessary hydraulic components, such as the circulator, safety devices, and expansion tank, allowing for a quick installation—often completed in just a few hours.

Do heat pumps need any maintenance?

Like an air conditioner, a heat pump requires annual maintenance to keep it running at its best. This includes cleaning the outdoor unit and, depending on the setup, the heating circuit as well. Regular maintenance helps protect the unit and ensures it performs efficiently, providing optimal comfort in your home while keeping running costs as low as possible.

Are they eco-friendly?

Inventor heat pumps, rated A+++, harness renewable aerothermal energy to produce heat, avoiding direct fossil fuel combustion and significantly reducing carbon dioxide emissions. This makes them an ideal and environmentally responsible choice for heating, cooling, and hot water in your home. When paired with photovoltaic systems, they achieve an even more efficient energy footprint, further enhancing their sustainability and cost-effectiveness.

How safe are they?

100% safe and powered by electricity—no need for oil or gas, eliminating the risks associated with combustion. Say goodbye to leaks, fumes, unpleasant odors, and the hassle of fuel deliveries.

Why is it a complete solution?

Because it meets the needs of any space year-round, offering:

Underfloor heating and cooling Radiator heating Air conditioning and heating with fan coils Hot water for daily use.
