Sustainable heating & saving with a hybrid heat pump

Good for your wallet, good for the environment. A hybrid heat pump allows you to heat your home using significantly less natural gas. A hybrid system consists of an electric heat pump working in tandem with a (new or existing) boiler to provide heating and hot tap water. In this setup, the heat pump handles the majority of the heating demand. On very cold days and during hot water production, the boiler steps in. This approach can reduce gas consumption by up to 80%.

Save on your gas consumption

That’s possible with our hybrid heating solutions. Our Intergas Xtend series is a smart choice for you! This fully Intergas-developed heating solution consists of a hybrid heat pump that works together with a high-efficiency boiler to sustainably heat your home and provide hot tap water.

Is a hybrid solution always applicable?

In many cases, a hybrid installation can be implemented immediately. However, the greatest improvements are to be expected by insulating smartly, adjusting the heat distribution system where necessary, and fine-tuning and optimising the setup. Even without major investments, it is often possible to apply a hybrid installation. Always consult an installer for tailored advice. Would you like to know whether, and which hybrid heating solution best suits your living situation? Then contact an installer in your area.

Ultra-silent performance

How the sound of a hybrid heat pump is experienced largely depends on the placement of the outdoor unit. The distance to the measurement point, the location of the outdoor unit, and environmental factors play a crucial role. Provided the surroundings allow it, it’s possible to achieve a sound pressure level below 40dB at a distance of just 3 meters. With our handy tool, you can estimate the noise level of the outdoor unit based on its placement. Curious? Try out our sound tool now.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I always need to replace my boiler when installing a hybrid heat pump?

No, that’s not necessarily required. In a hybrid heat pump system, the boiler and the heat pump work together to heat a home and provide hot tap water. It is possible to install a heat pump alongside your existing boiler. However, older boilers are generally less economical and less efficient than more recently installed models. To maximize savings, it may therefore be advisable in some cases to replace the boiler with a new one when installing a hybrid heat pump.

Our Xtend is an add-on heat pump. The heat pump and the indoor unit can be combined with an existing boiler. Thanks to the OpenTherm connection, Xtend can be paired with most common boilers on the market. For optimal performance, however, the best combination is with an Intergas HRE, HReco, or Xtreme.

How can I purchase a heat pump or request a quote?

It is not possible to purchase a heat pump directly from Intergas. This always goes through your installer. Advising and installing a hybrid heat pump requires tailored expertise. Your installer is the professional who can guide you through this process.

Since a significant portion of the total cost of a hybrid system lies in the installation, we are unable to provide quotes or price estimates ourselves. Don’t have an installer yet? Find one near you.

Wat is het verschil tussen een hybride warmtepomp en een All-Electric warmtepomp?

Een All-electric warmtepomp is volledig gasloos en gebruikt elektriciteit om de warmte uit de lucht of de grond om te zetten naar bruikbare energie zodat een woning van verwarming en warm tapwater wordt voorzien. Het voordeel hiervan is dat er geen gebruik gemaakt wordt van fossiele brandstoffen en dat hierdoor de CO₂-uitstoot wordt beperkt.

Niet elke woning is echter geschikt voor een volledige All-electric warmtepomp. Er zijn namelijk een aantal belangrijke aandachtspunten bij het plaatsen van een All-electric system. Zo zijn onder andere een goede isolatie van de woning, een lage temperatuur afgiftesysteem en de hoeveelheid ruimte in een woning van belang.

Ook een hybride warmtepomp gebruikt warmte uit de buitenlucht om een woning van warmte te voorzien. Deze vormt echter een team met je cv-ketel. Als de warmtevoorziening vanuit de warmtepomp niet voldoende is, dan springt de cv-ketel bij. Bijvoorbeeld op hele koude dagen.

Afgiftesysteem
Voor een goede werking van een All-electric warmtepomp is een lage temperatuur afgiftesysteem noodzakelijk. Dit zijn bijvoorbeeld vloerverwarming of lage temperatuurconvectoren- of radiatoren. Een traditionele cv-ketel levert warm water tot een temperatuur van 80C. Een All-electric warmtepomp daarentegen werkt het meest efficiënt met temperaturen rond de 35C. Een hybride warmtepomp zit hier tussenin met temperaturen tot ongeveer 55C.
