5 reasons for a heat pump
Introduction
More and more households heat up their house sustainably with a heat pump. This way, you save on your gas bill and you do your bit for the environment. In this article, we'll list the most important reasons for a heat pump.
1. You heat sustainably
A heat pump takes heat from nature, for example from the air, ground, or groundwater. Depending on the type of heat pump you choose, you use less or even no gas as a result. This way, you emit less CO2 and help with a cleaner world. Do you have solar panels? Your heat pump even works on green energy.
2. You save on your energy bill
A heat pump is an investment, but you save a lot in the long run. With a hybrid heat pump, you reduce your gas consumption by 85%. With a fully electric heat pump, that's 100%. That way, you save about € 1000 per year. You're also less dependent on the gas prices and your energy supplier.
3. You can take advantage of a subsidy
The government offers the ISDE subsidy, so you can get part of your investment back. For an A++ hybrid heat pump, you receive a subsidy of € 2550 and for a fully electric heat pump, you get € 3150. For an A+++ heat pump, you even get € 225 extra. That way, you can start reducing your gas affordably.
4. You live more comfortably
A heat pump heats with 35 to 55°C on average and keeps the temperature. That way, the temperature in your house remains pleasant and comfortable. That's different from a boiler, which switches on and off the entire time. Some heat pumps can also cool, which is useful during warm summers.
5. Your house will be worth more
A house with a heat pump is more energy-efficient and future-proof. As a result, you improve the energy label and value of your home. That's good if you want to sell your home. Buyers often look for sustainable houses, with a heat pump, good insulation, or solar panels for example.
