Heat pumps are regarded as one of the key technologies for climate-friendly heat generation. But while they have long been standard in new buildings, the question often arises in older buildings: is it worth installing them here too? Check technical requirements For efficient use, the building should be well insulated. Without sufficient insulation, heat pumps work less effectively, as the...
