ᐅ Air source heat pump installed in the attic

Hello everyone,

we are planning a single-family house of about 140m² (1507 ft²). We have been recommended an air-source heat pump from Valliat. We do not have a basement, and the utility room is 8m² (86 ft²). The heat pump with the water storage tank takes up about 4m² (43 ft²).

It would be possible to install the heat pump in the attic (the ceiling is concrete). Is this efficient enough? Or is the connection to the outdoor unit too far away?

The system is: air-to-water heat pump geoTHERM VWL S

Hi,

It is a KfW 70 house.
The ceiling is made of concrete, so the weight is not an issue...
We previously built a new house where we installed the gas heating system in the attic, so we wanted to do the same with the air source heat pump...

Regards
