Hello everyone,

we are currently considering the advantages and disadvantages of installing the heat pump either in the basement or outside in the garden.

Our architect has simply planned to place the heat pump behind a retaining wall in the garden.

- What are your experiences?
- What are the approximate cost differences?
- Would you recommend installing it indoors or outdoors?

The lot is 450 m² (5400 sq ft), with the house including a double garage occupying about 140 m² (1500 sq ft). There would be enough space in the basement.

Thanks

I always say the same thing... This thing probably exceeds all limits, but what can you as a neighbor actually do without causing major conflict?
Our future neighbors have a perfect example of this. It seems like all the bearings are broken; it rattles like crazy. Fortunately, it’s on the side facing away from us...

Look up injunction and noise control regulations.
If it violates the regulations, you have a civil claim for an injunction. If the noise is coming from the other direction, it’s not really a problem for you. This kind of thing has no place in a neighborhood.

Hi,

Google "injunction" and "TA Lärm" (Technical Instructions on Noise Protection).
If this violates the regulations, you have a civil law claim for an injunction. If the noise comes from your side, it's not a problem. Such things have no place in a neighborhood.

Of course, you can do that. But then you will have a completely ruined relationship with your neighbor.

Best regards,

Andreas

Sure, that’s the last thing I want. But spending the next x years with continuous noise in the bedroom, living room, and terrace isn’t a great prospect either, is it?
