Which heat pump suits you?
Introduction
Do you want to heat your house more sustainably? A heat pump is a smart choice. Heat pumps are environmentally-friendly and lower your energy costs. But which heat pump suits your house and situation best? In this article, we'll explain the different types of heat pumps and help you make the right choice.
Hybrid heat pump
A hybrid heat pump extracts energy from the outdoor air. Together with your boiler, it heats your house. If it's cold outside or you're in the shower for a long time, the boiler helps. Is your boiler still in good condition or don't want to completely stop using gas? A hybrid heat pump is a good choice. With some models, it's easy to go to fully electric later.
- You save up to 80% of your gas consumption.
- Thanks to the combination of a heat pump and boiler, you always have a warm house.
- A hybrid heat pump easily fits in small houses.
- You pay maintenance costs for the heat pump and the boiler.
Fully electric heat pump
With a fully electric heat pump, you can only heat your house with electricity. You won't consume any gas anymore and save on your energy bill this way. You're also not dependent on fluctuating gas rates anymore. Do you have solar panels on your roof? You can even heat your house with green energy. A fully electric heat pump is useful if you have a newly built house, so you have enough space for the installation.
- You won't consume any gas anymore, so you save a lot on your gas consumption.
- With solar panels, you can heat your house sustainably.
- You only pay maintenance costs for the heat pump.
- A fully electric heat pump is more expensive than a hybrid model.
Weheat heat pumps
We install 3 models of Weheat: the Flint, Sparrow, and Blackbird. The Weheat Flint is useful if you live in an appartement or small house. We place this model on the facade or in the garden. The Weheat Sparrow is the best choice for medium-sized houses or townhouses. We also place this model on the facade or in the garden. For larger houses, we recommend the Weheat Blackbird. We place this model on a flat roof.
Is your house suitable?
It's important that your house is suitable for a heat pump. This way, you get the most out of your investment. Keep in mind the following:
- Insulation. The better you insulate your house, the less heat the heat pump loses.
- Floor heating or radiators. A heat pump works best with a low temperature heating, like floor heating.
- Space. A heat pump has an indoor and outdoor unit. Make sure you have space for this.
