The green heart of your comfort: Indoor heat pump solutions.
Advantages of indoor heat pumps
The advantages of installing your heat pump inside your home.
- Keeps your garden tech-free.
The indoor heat pump is an ideal solution when you have available space inside your home and prefer to keep your garden free from technical equipment. You can enjoy an unobstructed view of your outdoor space without any machinery affecting the landscape.
- Pin-drop quiet neighbourhood.
Your property remains free from additional noise, as there is no sound source that could cause disturbance. This way you can enjoy the peace and quiet in your outdoor area undisturbed.
- Longevity.
Indoor installation protects the heat pump from wind and weather, ensuring a particularly long lifespan and delivers a consistently reliable system year after year.
- More creative space outside.
Without an outdoor heat pump, you're free to landscape however you want and design the perfect backyard without working around bulky equipment.
Possible disadvantages of indoor heat pumps
Considerations for indoor heat pump placement.
One thing to consider with indoor heat pumps is operating noise. If you place the heat pump in the wrong spot, you might notice some sounds. But don't worry - today's heat pumps are usually so quiet that you'll barely hear them running.
Plus, there are easy ways to make your indoor heat pump even quieter. Simply put it on a stable, flat surface with a sound-dampening rubber mat underneath. And if you choose a room that's away from your main living areas, you'll have complete peace and quiet.

Installation tips
Requirements for the heat pump installation room.
- Adequate space.
There should be sufficient space in the installation room. If the heat pump doesn't have an integrated hot water tank, additional room must be planned for a separate storage tank.
- Stable foundation.
The load-bearing capacity of the floor must be suitable for the weight of the heat pump. Double check if you consider placing it on upper floors, particularly old floors etc.) Additionally, the surface on which the heat pump is positioned must be level to ensure safe and stable installation.
- Accessibility.
Since the heat pump is pre-assembled and comes with considerable weight, the location should be easily accessible. Make sure to avoid steep stairs and tight corners, as these could complicate transport and installation.
Vaillant tip:
What building modifcations you need to consider.
Indoor installation of heat pumps requires structural modifications. Air-to-water heat pumps need larger wall openings to ensure optimal air supply through air ducts. Ground- source and groundwater heat pumps sometimes require extensive garden excavation to access the energy sources.
Indoor heat pumps in new builds
The perfect choice for your new build.
Indoor heat pumps are ideal for new construction integration. The necessary structural modifications and optimal installation room can be considered directly during the planning phase. This eliminates any space or noise issues in the house.
If you're modernizing your heating system, an indoor heat pump can also be an option when sufficient space is available. This depends on the individual conditions on site.
