ᐅ Heat pump located directly next to the bedroom window

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?

I find 13m (43 feet) appropriate as well. If there are any issues, additional soundproofing can possibly be installed later.

Just not near our own bedroom… That’s why I didn’t want one there. The noises are annoying… Ours is now located by the living room; it’s bearable inside but noisy outside, although in winter you don’t hear it as much… 13 m (43 feet) They are great because the neighbor can’t hear anything anymore.
