Family Home Heating Replacement with a Heat Pump

Air-to-water heat pump in a family home on Lägernstrasse in Dübendorf
Project Description

How large does the new heat pump really need to be?

For us, the process does not start with choosing a heat pump. It starts with the existing property. We inspect the building and use previous oil or gas consumption to determine the heating output actually required. We also account for the fact that older oil and gas boilers lose part of their energy through flue-gas and standby losses. This allows us to size the new heat pump to suit the building without adding unnecessary capacity reserves. Together with the customer, we determine the appropriate installation location and clarify noise, pipe routing, domestic hot water and any other specific requirements at an early stage.

Project Description

A new heating system without the customer having to coordinate everything

For heating replacements in family homes, we coordinate the entire project. From the necessary assessments and permits to electrical work, building work and other associated trades, through to installation and commissioning of the heat pump, everything comes together with us. We work with long-standing partner companies we know and can rely on. What does the customer have to do? Essentially, just pay our invoice. We take care of the rest. Our goal is not simply to install a new heat pump, but to deliver a system that suits the house and keeps the customer satisfied for many years.

Cooling Technology Where Standard Doesn't Fit

Three properties, three unusual installation situations: a unit without a suitable rear wall, a recessed ceiling cassette and a concealed installation in a sloping roof. We planned each solution individually and coordinated all other trades involved.

New NIBE heat pump installed on a small plinth in a plant room in Zumikon

Heating, Hot Water and Cooling in a Tight Space

In Zumikon, we replaced the existing heat pump with the appropriate NIBE successor model. The new unit had to continue providing heating, domestic hot water and cooling from a very small plinth – and we also brought the faulty wine-cooling unit back into operation.
