Hello everyone,
We are currently discussing where to install the heat pump. It is a Tecalor air-to-water heat pump TTL 7.6 ACS.
The plumber now suggests placing the unit next to our bedroom window, as otherwise, he would have to extend the connection cable, which he believes could be problematic. The bedroom wall is made of reinforced concrete.
Our preferred location was originally behind the building on the north side, where only the guest toilet has a window. However, in this position, the heat pump would face directly toward the neighboring property, though it would still be about 5m (16 feet) from the boundary and approximately 8m (26 feet) from the neighbor’s building.
According to the plumber, placing it by the bedroom would not be an issue and we would not hear any noise. I have my doubts about that.
What do you think? Does anyone have experience with a heat pump installed near a bedroom window and can share whether the latest models are particularly noisy?

Are the new heat pump models still particularly noisy?If the unit is new, it’s not a problem. But after 5 or 10 years, it will likely get louder and could become an issue for you or your neighbors.
I would also say that the outdoor unit could work. It’s important not to mount it directly on the exterior wall. In our case, the outdoor unit is placed on a separate pedestal.
The noise level is bearable. In contrast, the indoor tower is a bit louder in our home. I should mention that our compressor outside is located at the completely opposite end from the bedroom—that is, on the side of the house opposite the bedroom. So we don’t hear it at all.

xMisterDx18 Jan 2023 21:50I’ve slept for 25 years with a window 500m (1,640 feet) in a straight line from a freight railway, open in summer. Then 6 years about 25, maybe 35m (80, 115 feet) away from a noise barrier behind which ICE trains passed at high speed. Currently, we live (still) on a busy main road with trams running in the middle...
You get used to a lot... to this day, I have trouble sleeping in spa towns because it’s completely silent at night...
Heat pump outdoor units comply with all applicable standards for residential areas, even after 10 years, so that’s fine. The sensitive ones just need to close the curtains.

if the pump runs at full volume during very cold nights, you will be glad if it is located far away from the bedroom!
If it concerns the guest bathroom and the distance to the neighbor, then install it there! It is important that the sound travels and is also broken up so that only a low decibel level reaches the neighbor. I had trouble with mine for two winters, measured it twice. It was within the tolerance range, and he got used to it!
