Why a heat pump?
Heat from the air or ground, for a fraction of the power
A heat pump takes heat from the outside air or the ground and moves it into your home. For every kWh of electricity it delivers several times as much heat, so you use far less energy than with a conventional boiler.
A heat pump works best in a well-insulated home with underfloor heating or large radiators. But it can work in an existing home too, sometimes as a hybrid alongside your current boiler.
Combined with solar panels and a home battery, you heat largely with your own electricity.
Efficient heating
Far less energy than a gas or oil boiler.
Comfort
An even temperature, plus hot water.
Fossil-free
No more oil tank or gas connection needed.
Smart with your battery
Heat with your own solar power.
Systems
Which heat pump suits your home?
Hybrid
A heat pump alongside your current boiler. The heat pump does most of the work; on the coldest days the boiler helps out. A good intermediate step.
Air-to-air
Heats (and cools) the air in one or more rooms directly. Ideal as a supplement, or for flats and separate rooms.
Ground source
Takes heat from the ground via a borehole. More expensive to install, but very efficient and quiet. Mainly interesting for new builds.

FAQ
Questions about heat pumps
Does a heat pump work with ordinary radiators?
Sometimes. A heat pump works best with low-temperature water. If your home is well insulated and your radiators are large enough, it can work. Otherwise a hybrid heat pump or replacing a few radiators is an option. We calculate it up front.
Which heat pump is best for an existing home?
That depends on your insulation and heating system. In many existing homes an air-to-water heat pump or a hybrid solution is the best choice. After a site visit you get concrete advice.
Is the outdoor unit noisy?
Modern outdoor units are quiet, but placement matters. We take bedrooms, terraces and neighbours into account.
Can I get a grant for a heat pump?
Often, for example through Mijn VerbouwPremie. There are conditions, including on the installation and the installer. We check in advance what applies to your situation.
Is a heat pump worth it with solar panels?
Yes. You then heat partly with your own solar power. Add a home battery and you can use that power in the evening too and limit your usage peaks.
