Why get a heat pump
A heat pump is one of the most profitable investments you can make as a homeowner. Here are the most important reasons:
A heat pump can reduce your heating costs by 50–75% compared to direct electric heating and 30–50% compared to an oil boiler. For an average house, this means savings of SEK 15,000–40,000 per year depending on the type of heat pump and your previous heating system.
Since the heat pump draws the majority of its energy from renewable ambient heat (air, ground or bedrock), it is one of the most climate-smart ways to heat your home. With the Swedish electricity mix, a heat pump has extremely low carbon emissions — significantly lower than gas, oil or pellets.
A modern heat pump installation increases your property's market value. Buyers prefer homes with low running costs and sustainable technology. Ground source and air-to-water heat pumps provide the greatest value increase, often SEK 100,000–200,000 or more.
A heat pump and solar panels are an ideal combination. The solar panels produce free electricity that powers the heat pump, further reducing your electricity costs. During the summer months, solar panels can cover the heat pump's entire electricity demand for hot water. With a battery, you can also store surplus electricity for use in the evenings and at night.
