A house with an air source heat pump on its short side.

An air source heat pump should always be installed by a professional. This so that the installation does not contribute to climate change.

Air source heat pumps

As a private person, you may not install air source heat pumps yourself. If the air source heat pump is installed incorrectly, chemicals may be released into the air that contribute to climate change. Therefore, it is important that you find a professional who can install the air source heat pump for you.

Many stores that sell air source heat pumps have a special company that does the installation. If you decide not to use that option, you must be able to show the seller which company you intend to use instead. The seller needs to be provided with information about the company’s certification number, as the store may not sell the air source heat pump to you without checking that this number is correct. This applies regardless of whether you buy the heat pump in a physical store or if you shop online.
