Air-to-air heat pump: the smart and affordable alternative to traditional heat pumps
More and more households want to use less gas or switch completely to electric heating. This often involves looking at large, expensive installations such as air-water heat pumps. But there is an alternative that is quicker to install, much more cost-effective and surprisingly efficient: the air-to-air heat pump. In fact, it is a modern air conditioner that can both cool and heat.
At Aircobrabant BV, we find that this solution is growing enormously in popularity among people who want to make their homes more sustainable without major renovation or high investment.
What is an air-to-air heat pump?
An air-to-air heat pump uses outside air as its energy source. The outdoor unit extracts heat from the air and the indoor unit blows this heat directly into the room. In summer, the same system works in reverse and cools the house.
This direct heating method does not require coupling with radiators or underfloor heating. This makes installation simple and affordable, yet highly efficient.
Why choose this system as an alternative to traditional heat pumps?
- Lower costs than an air-water heat pump
A traditional heat pump often requires an investment of €10,000 to €20,000 and requires modifications to existing installations.
You can have an air-to-air heat pump installed from around €1600 to €3000 per room. This makes it a low-threshold way for many households to start heating energy efficiently. - Highly energy-efficient, ideal for reducing your gas bill
With its high COP value (efficiency of 4 to 5.5), an air-to-air heat pump heats much more efficiently than a gas-fired central heating boiler. Many users burn 50 to 80 per cent less gas as a result. - Instant comfortable warmth
A major advantage over traditional heating is that the system provides heat within minutes. This makes it ideal for living spaces, bedrooms, offices and practice rooms. - No rebuilding required
No underfloor heating or new radiators are needed. You only have an outdoor unit and one or more indoor units. This makes the system interesting for both existing homes and new builds. - Perfect for hybrid heating
Many people use their air-to-air heat pump as primary heating and only let the central heating boiler step in at extremely cold times. This is often the most practical and affordable route to low-gas or even gas-free living.
Can an air-to-air heat pump replace the boiler?
For well-insulated homes, this is certainly possible. In less well-insulated homes, the system works perfectly well in hybrid form. You then heat entirely electrically for most of the year, while the central heating boiler remains available in the background for peak moments.
The system primarily heats the rooms where you place the indoor units. For other rooms, you can have additional units installed or opt for hybrid support via the central heating.
Note that hot water is not provided by the air-to-air heat pump.
What do you save with an air-to-air heat pump?
The exact benefit varies from property to property, but on average our customers see:
- 30 to 80 per cent reduction in gas consumption
- Lower monthly costs through more efficient energy use
- Faster comfort as the room heats up faster
Do you have solar panels? Then heating with an air-to-air heat pump can become almost free.
