Hybrid heat pump

A hybrid heat pump works together with an existing boiler, making it an interesting solution for homes and buildings that want to improve energy efficiency step by step. In this category, you will find heat pumps for installers, renovation projects, commercial applications and private situations where fully electric heating is not always immediately possible.

In a hybrid setup, the heat pump provides a large part of the heat demand, while the boiler can support the system during higher heat demand or domestic hot water production. When choosing a system, pay attention to capacity, heat distribution, insulation level, control strategy, outdoor unit placement and compatibility with the existing installation.

Choosing a hybrid heat pump

A hybrid heat pump is especially suitable for existing homes and renovation projects where the current boiler system remains in place. The heat pump provides a large part of the space heating, while the boiler can support the system during higher heat demand or domestic hot water production.

When selecting a system, heat loss, heat distribution, available space and the existing boiler setup are important. For the complete installation layout, also view buffer tanks for heat pumps, heat pump accessories and heat pump installation sets.

Important for hybrid heating

  • Check whether the existing boiler is suitable for hybrid operation
  • Match the capacity to heat loss, building type and heat distribution
  • Pay attention to the control strategy between heat pump, boiler and thermostat
  • Check whether underfloor heating or low-temperature radiators are present
  • Consider placement, noise level and pipework to the outdoor unit

Frequently asked questions about hybrid heat pumps

What is a hybrid heat pump?

A hybrid heat pump works together with an existing boiler. The heat pump provides a large part of the space heating, while the boiler can support the system during higher heat demand or domestic hot water production.

When is a hybrid heat pump suitable?

A hybrid heat pump is especially suitable for existing homes and renovation projects where the boiler remains in place, but energy use for heating needs to be reduced.

Can a hybrid heat pump work with radiators?

Yes, this is possible in many situations, but efficiency depends on the required flow temperature, radiator size, insulation level and system controls.
