Installation of air-water heat pump - Does this fit?

A quiet model is the most important choice. Then you stand next to it and don’t hear much more than the noise of a loud PC fan. Don’t get worked up, just listen to it once. Many installers take you to their customers’ reference systems.

Thanks, nordanney! But from your point of view, does that probably not dispel the concern that the location where we want to set it up might be acoustically challenging? I actually don’t want to put the thing facing the street and the front door. That somehow looks stupid, and in the end the exhaust direction at our place would be toward the sidewalk/path to the front door. Not so ideal at all...

Is an alternative air-to-water heat pump possibly available that consists of only an indoor unit? For example, the LWCV series from Alpha Innotec?

This could avoid the problem of the correct installation of the outdoor unit.

Thank you very much, Strahleman! I will start looking for reviews. After 15 minutes, unfortunately, I haven't found much yet, not even here in the forum.

Do you have this device in operation?

Of course, I don't want to bring the larger noise source directly into the house, especially since our bedroom is located above the utility room.

You create a kind of wind tunnel there. The outgoing air hits the opposite garage wall and is deflected and thrown back there. Your neighbor's wall, as well as your left wall, is constantly cooled down. I don't think this is a good spot.

I would not bring the sound source into the house. That won't make anything better. How much capacity should the heat pump have (heating load calculation)? Are there budget restrictions (the most expensive ones are particularly quiet)? Depending on that, I might be able to give recommendations. Regards Karl

Thanks for the comment, I’m afraid you are right.
