Heat pumps
Guides to air-to-air, air-to-water, ground-source and exhaust-air heat pumps for Swedish homes.
A heat pump is one of the largest single investments you can make to cut heating costs – and one where wrong choices are expensive. The right type depends on house size, existing heating system, plot, budget and how much you want to do yourself.
We explain the difference between air-to-air, air-to-water, exhaust-air and ground-source systems, what SCOP and COP actually tell you, why Nordic models that handle real cold matter, and why the installer’s competence often outweighs the brand. We also cover permits, noise and service.
Heat pumps are expensive and technical. We do not replace an energy survey or a quote from a certified installer. Our guides contain affiliate links.
