WHERE TO PLACE THE OUTDOOR UNIT OF YOUR HEAT PUMP?

Modern KRONOTERM heat pumps provide versatile installation options, allowing placement in a variety of locations. Outdoor units can be positioned beside the house, on balconies, terraces, in attics, or basements. For certain solutions, like geothermal heat pumps, no outdoor unit is needed. With their sleek design and quiet operation, they seamlessly integrate into any architectural setting as an aesthetically appealing feature.

When choosing the location for your outdoor heat pump unit, a common question is: where can it be placed to ensure functionality, remain discreet, and blend seamlessly with your home’s aesthetics? The latest generation of KRONOTERM heat pumps offers flexible solutions, whether installed beside the house, on a balcony, or even in the attic. Some models, like geothermal heat pumps, eliminate the need for an outdoor unit altogether. With their sleek, modern design, these units have evolved into attractive architectural elements.

Next to the House – A Simple and Efficient Option

Installing air-to-water heat pumps next to the house is the most common choice due to the ease of installation and maintenance access. There’s no longer a need to hide them in the least visible corners of your property, as their sophisticated design transforms them into a beautiful architectural feature. The new generation of KRONOTERM heat pumps is also nearly silent, allowing installation right next to the house, or even on the facade or roof.

Balcony or Terrace – The Perfect Solution for Multi-Unit Buildings

The outdoor unit can be installed on a balcony or terrace, making it an excellent solution for independent heating in apartment units. Owning your own heat pump provides full autonomy from central heating systems and other residents. The VERSI heat pump is compact, occupying just 0.5m² of balcony space, and operates so quietly that neither you nor your neighbors will notice it’s there.

For added comfort, we’ve developed special airflow adapters to direct the air efficiently, allowing you to sit right next to the unit without noticing it’s running. Users can customize the air intake and exhaust direction, with multiple combinations available to suit individual preferences.

Attic or Basement – A Discreet and Space-Saving Solution

If you’d prefer to completely conceal the heat pump while using minimal living space, it can be installed in an attic or basement. The VERSI heat pump is designed to fit neatly into even the smallest spaces, thanks to its compact size.

For these installations, air is routed to the heat pump through specially insulated ventilation ducts. You can choose from facade or roof solutions for air intake and exhaust, with options including a grille, perforated cover, or roof ventilation element to suit your aesthetic and functional needs.

Geothermal Heat Pumps – No Outdoor Unit Needed

If you’ve chosen the ETERA geothermal heat pump, there’s no need to worry about finding space for an outdoor unit. This system consists of an indoor unit paired with underground collectors, offering a fully discreet and highly efficient solution. It’s the perfect choice for those looking for an unobtrusive yet powerful heating and cooling system.

Customize the Color to Match Your Home

How long did you spend choosing the color of your house or bedroom walls? Why should your heat pump be any different? Customize it to reflect your personal taste, match your home’s architecture, and harmonize with the environment where it will serve you for years, ensuring comfort. Find the finish that pairs perfectly with your outdoor furniture and surroundings, the color that complements your windows, or simply choose the casing that you find most appealing.

The outdoor units of our ADAPT and VERSI heat pumps are available in five distinct colors: INOX (stainless steel), NERO (black-brown), OLIO (olive green), ANTHRACITE (charcoal), NEBBIA (soft gray), and a premium CORTEN finish, offering a unique, weathered appearance.
