Heat pump: better inside the house or in the garden?

Hello,

we also have an air-to-water heat pump as a combined unit (with controlled residential ventilation) from Tecalor installed in the basement.

Right next to the technical room is our guest room. Between them is a normal concrete basement wall and two normal residential doors.

In the guest room, the device is not audible anymore (already with a closed door).

Of course, not in the ground floor and attic either.

I, as a layperson, think that indoor or outdoor installation does not make much of a difference in terms of costs - the additional effort inside the building is probably compensated by the omission of line installation out somewhere in the garden.

Regards,

Dirk

I just hope my neighbor doesn’t have a motorcycle!!

When installed in the basement, is it outside the thermal envelope? And forced-ventilated through a shaft?

If I remember correctly, Dirk's basement is insulated all around. Aside from that, if the technology moves into the basement and the basement is used purely as a utility cellar, the HAR must still be insulated all around.

We place them in the corner, supply air is then on one side and exhaust air on the other via a light well. We didn’t want any outside ones because of space and appearance

Good morning!

Apart from that, if the technology is moved to the basement and the basement is used purely as a utility cellar, the HAR still needs to be insulated all around.

Can you explain that a bit? I don’t understand the reason. - Thanks

Heating systems must be located within the thermal envelope.

Whereas in utility basements, insulation may also be present.
