Air/water heat pump
No other heat pump can be installed as easily and thus as economically as the air/water heat pump. This makes the air/water heat pump the most popular heat pump for single-family homes. In newly built houses, the indoor option is frequently the preferred choice; the outdoor option tends to be selected when renovating properties.
The most economical solution in the short term
Outdoor air/water heat pumps require the least investment, from planning to commissioning.
Quick installation
The outdoor air/water heat pump is relatively quick and uncomplicated to install, which makes it a particularly attractive option when renovating.
Very little paperwork
Compared to other heat pumps, installing an air/water heat pump does not require a lot of paperwork, as no earthworks are required.
The most popular solution for a single-family home
The air/water heat pump uses ambient air (which is free) for heating and can be installed indoors or outdoors. An outdoor heat pump requires the least amount of construction work; an indoor pump, on the other hand, might not be visible once installed, but installing them as part of a renovation frequently involves breaking through walls. The energy efficiency of an air/water heat pump varies depending on the external ambient air temperature. When external ambient temperatures are very low, this type of heat pump requires more electrical energy than when external temperatures are more moderate. The air/water heat pump is used mainly for supplying heat and hot water, but it can also be used for cooling. This means it can create a pleasant indoor environment not only in winter, but also during the warmer months.

How much does it cost to run an air heat pump?
The air/water heat pump is the most cost-effective heat pump to install. The main reason for this is that installation is relatively simple and does not require any extensive construction work. The project cost for an air/water heat pump for an average single-family home is approximately CHF 45,000. This includes the price of the heat pump, the additional materials and the installation work. With an outdoor air/water heat pump, the cost is generally even lower, as installation involves only drilling holes for the pipes – there is no need to break through any walls. The indoor setup is popular in newly built houses, while the outdoor setup’s simple and cost-effective installation makes it popular for renovations.
