Hello,
the outdoor unit of our Elco Aerotop Split 07 air-to-water heat pump is quite loud.
The outdoor unit is located very close to the neighbor’s property, and they have started to complain. I can understand this, as I also find the unit very noisy.
Other units in our new housing development are noticeably quieter.
Are there any ways to reduce the noise level of the outdoor unit? It would probably also help if the unit did not turn on as frequently.
I found one option in the manual:
Silent mode (if available): This function limits the performance of the heat pump system to reduce noise. WARNING: Activating this function limits the maximum output of your heat pump to about 70%, which may result in insufficient heating capacity.
What effects does this have? Does it increase energy consumption, or is this mode harmful to the system? Obviously, I want to avoid the latter. To compensate for the 30% reduction, I would probably need to adjust other settings? Which parameters would those be?

That was the question.

we are now owners of a single-family house. The previous owner also installed the Elco Aerotop Split 07M-RX/180.

Regardless of the heat pump’s noise level, this is obviously the perfect setup for sound to bounce back and forth. There’s nothing visible in the picture that could absorb the noise, so in the end, all the sound will clearly be reflected straight toward the neighbor.
