Why choose a heat pump?
A heat pump uses heat from the outside air, the ground, or ventilation to heat your home efficiently. As a result, you need much less (or even no) gas, which significantly lowers your monthly energy costs. A heat pump is also a sustainable choice: it reduces your CO₂ emissions and helps build a greener future.
In addition, a heat pump works perfectly together with solar panels and a home battery, allowing you to use even more of your self-generated energy. This way, you make your home future-ready and enjoy comfortable, energy-efficient living.
What is the difference between a fully electric heat pump and a hybrid heat pump?
A fully electric heat pump heats your home without using gas. This is the most sustainable option and ideal for well-insulated homes. You heat completely with electricity and, combined with solar panels, you can significantly reduce your energy costs.
A hybrid heat pump works together with your existing boiler. The heat pump provides most of the heating, while the boiler only kicks in during peak demand or for hot water. This is a practical and affordable step toward living without gas, especially for homes that are not yet optimally insulated.
What subsidy options are available for a heat pump?
For installing a heat pump, you can benefit from various subsidies and financial schemes, such as the Investment Subsidy for Sustainable Energy and Energy Saving (ISDE) in the Netherlands. This provides financial support for both fully electric and hybrid heat pump systems. The amount of subsidy depends on the type of heat pump and your situation (homeowner, business, or homeowners’ association).
In addition, provinces, municipalities, or grid operators may offer extra local subsidies or incentive programs. So it’s definitely worth checking your municipal and provincial websites for the latest conditions and available options.
Does a heat pump make a lot of noise?
Modern heat pumps are designed to operate very quietly. Thanks to advanced noise-reducing technology and smart placement, they produce minimal sound both indoors and outdoors. This makes them ideal for homes and businesses where comfort and peace are important.
Heat pumps reduce greenhouse gas emissions by providing efficient, renewable heating, lowering dependence on fossil fuels and reducing environmental impact.

Most homes are suitable for a heat pump, but efficiency is highest with good insulation. Key factors include the insulation level, the type of heat distribution system (such as underfloor heating or radiators), and the available space for the indoor and outdoor unit. During a consultation, we assess your situation and determine which heat pump fits best.
Yes, many heat pumps can cool as well as heat. In summer, the process is reversed: heat is removed from your home and released outside. This keeps your indoor space comfortably cool without needing a separate air conditioning system. It makes a heat pump a comfortable and energy-efficient solution for year-round use.
