Local feasibility analysis

Before starting, you must verify the configuration of your residential area. The first step is to confirm whether your district is connected to a priority district heating network, which could influence your energy choices.

Additionally, the local design outdoor temperature in Oberentfelden plays a crucial role in calculating the capacity required for your heat pump.

A thermal analysis by a professional ensures that your equipment is sized optimally to handle regional winters without excessive consumption. Proper planning prevents future inefficiencies and ensures long-term comfort for your entire household.

Acoustic considerations and neighbours

Installing an air-water heat pump requires special attention regarding noise levels. As these systems use outdoor fans, it is essential to respect noise limits toward your neighbours.

Strategic placement of the outdoor unit, away from bedroom windows and ideally shielded by garden elements, helps minimize noise disturbances.

We recommend consulting an acoustic specialist or a qualified installer to choose a quiet model and orient it in a way that limits sound propagation while ensuring efficient air circulation for the unit's performance.

Technological choice and efficiency

The choice of heat pump model depends on your building's configuration and your current heat distribution system, such as underfloor heating or radiators.

It is essential to choose a heat pump that works efficiently with your existing emitters to maximize savings. In the canton of Aargau, compliance with energy standards is encouraged.
