Always the smartest choice for a heat pump

An air-to-water heat pump is a sustainable and energy-efficient solution for heating a home and/or providing hot tap water. It extracts heat from the outside air and transfers it through a heat exchanger to a boiler tank, which then heats the water in your home. These heat pumps do not use fossil fuels, thus emitting no CO2. They can extract heat from the air even in cold temperatures and typically produce 3 to 4 units of heat for every 1 unit of electricity used.

An air-to-water heat pump is beneficial for both the environment and your wallet. It reduces CO2 emissions by not using fossil fuels and leads to financial savings by consuming energy more efficiently, making you less dependent on the fluctuating energy market. And all this without compromising on comfort!

With an air-to-water heat pump, you can achieve significant savings on energy costs, as it consumes less electricity compared to traditional heating systems. Specifically, with a hybrid heat pump, you can save up to 70% on your annual gas consumption.

With a fully electric heat pump, you can eliminate gas usage entirely. By combining the heat pump with solar panels, you can offset the additional electricity use of the heat pump with the energy generated from your roof, leading to even greater savings and sustainability.

Air-to-water heat pumps are suitable for various types of homes. All-electric heat pumps work well in homes built after 1992 or in well-insulated older homes. Hybrid heat pumps are a practical choice for homes with less insulation or for those looking to gradually transition to more sustainable heating.

Air-to-water heat pumps require space for an outdoor unit to extract heat from the air. This is important for both all-electric and hybrid systems and should be considered when determining if an air-to-water heat pump is suitable for your home.

The cost of a hybrid heat pump typically ranges from €4,000 to €12,000, while an all-electric heat pump generally costs between €12,000 and €17,000, depending on your home. Additionally, you may be eligible for subsidies that can reduce the overall investment, making the final cost lower.

The installation of a hybrid air-to-water heat pump typically takes 1 to 1.5 days, while an all-electric heat pump generally requires around two days. DLE provides a comprehensive installation, including the necessary electrical work. Please note that any additional work may extend the installation time.

The ISDE subsidy provides financial support for the purchase of air-to-water heat pumps. Depending on the type and capacity of the pump, this subsidy ranges from €2,250 to €4,000 per pump. Starting January 2024, subsidies will only be available for heat pumps with at least an A++ rating. At DLE, this is not an issue, as we exclusively install heat pumps with the highest energy labels, such as A+++, ensuring that customers always qualify for the subsidy.

At DLE, we offer a range of service and maintenance packages for both preventive and periodic upkeep of your system. Not only does this significantly extend the lifespan of your heat pump, but it also ensures you consistently achieve the highest savings. Additionally, we perfectly calibrate the pump to the rest of your home, which enhances overall efficiency. As a result, you benefit from optimal performance and reduced energy costs.

An air-to-water heat pump is highly environmentally friendly because it uses fewer fossil fuels and has lower CO2 emissions.

Yes, some air-to-water heat pumps can cool your home in the summer. A heat pump with a cooling function can lower the temperature by about 3 to 4 degrees on average. It’s important to check if your specific heat pump model includes this feature, as not all air-to-water heat pumps are designed for both heating and cooling.

Yes, certain air-to-water heat pumps can be integrated with solar panels, particularly those that support the Smart Grid Ready protocol. This integration not only enhances energy efficiency but also allows the heat pump to utilize electricity generated by your solar panels. Consequently, this reduces your reliance on the electrical grid while simultaneously maximizing the use of renewable energy in your home. As a result, you will experience lower energy costs and a reduced environmental footprint, all while benefiting from a smart and sustainable energy system.
