Refurbishment with heat pumps
Efficient heat pumps for your home renovation
Heat pumps in existing buildings - more attractive than ever
It pays to switch now!
Almost 60 percent of all new residential buildings in Germany are heated with a heat pump. In existing buildings, however, their share is still low. This will change significantly over the next few years.
This is because legal requirements, attractive subsidies and technical advances already make replacing the existing heating system a worthwhile investment. Retrofitting a heat pump in existing buildings is usually no problem and guarantees future-proof and energy-efficient heating. Find out more about why a quick switch is worthwhile right now and how you can actively shape the energy transition for your home with a heat pump.
Switching to renewable heating is an investment in the future that is already paying off today - for the environment, but also for your wallet!

FAQ: Refurbishment with a heat pump? It's possible!
Heat pumps can often be used in renovation projects without any problems - the important thing is that they are planned by a specialist installer. Dimplex also offers a suitable heat pump solution for the vast majority of unrenovated or partially renovated existing buildings.
Use the heating period for a simple test: Reduce the flow temperature of your existing heating system with the heating thermostats turned up fully. If it then becomes too warm, the flow temperature at the heat generator can be reduced, thereby increasing efficiency. If only flow temperatures of up to 55°C are required even at sub-zero temperatures, the building can be converted to a heat pump without increasing the size of the radiators. If it is too cold in some rooms, you can determine which radiators should be replaced.
It is a widespread rumor that heat pumps always require underfloor heating - but this is far from true. In most cases, Dimplex heat pumps also work with existing radiators. As a rule, the radiators in many existing houses are oversized. Practice shows that the appropriate room temperature can be achieved even with lower flow temperatures.
Basically, the less energy required to create a comfortable indoor climate, the better. That is why it always makes sense to carry out refurbishment measures to reduce heating energy requirements. This applies to all heating systems, not just heat pumps. However, it is not absolutely necessary to comprehensively renovate houses in order for them to be suitable for the use of heat pumps. It is true that the lower the heat losses, the more efficiently a heat pump works. However, the required flow temperature is crucial for their use.

Highly efficient, sustainable and incredibly quiet
Refurbishment with System E:
The highly efficient System E air/water heat pump system from Dimplex is not only optimized for the rapid replacement of existing systems, but also for operation with radiators. At the same time, it impresses with its operation with the climate-friendly refrigerant R290 and is particularly quiet.
System E is compatible with existing heating system components and is therefore ideally suited to the challenges of refurbishment.
Your advantages with System E:
1 Perfect for heating replacement.
High flow temperatures when required: 65°C at -10°C outside temperature and up to 60°C for DHW heating. Particularly suitable for refurbishment projects with radiators. Highly efficient: Efficiency at 55°C like low-temperature systems. Special heat pump radiators for optimum comfort.
2 A system for everyone.
Online tutorials for easy installation, accessible via QR codes on the device. Pre-assembled accessories & Extension modules. Compatible with existing system components.
3 Top service & optimal operation.
Commissioning & System check by Dimplex. Warranty extension up to 12 years. Online maintenance and remote diagnosis. Heat pump community for system optimization. Optional cooling with dew point-controlled mixer control to reliably prevent condensation.
4 Sustainable, environmentally friendly & future-proof.
Natural refrigerant R290. Pleasantly quiet. Inverter technology for efficient, energy and cost-optimized operation. Can be flexibly combined with existing heat generators or PV systems thanks to the simple use of load-variable tariffs with SG Ready. Durable, corrosion-resistant façade.

Myths about refurbishment with heat pumps
Refurbish, save, benefit. With a heat pump from Dimplex
Your home is worth more with a heat pump
A study by Immowelt shows that properties with a heat pump can achieve a higher sales price than comparable properties without this energy-efficient technology. The increase in value is up to 17 percent. Heat pumps have an efficiency of over 300 percent.
This reduces the final energy consumption and increases the energy efficiency class of the property. When renting and selling, it has been mandatory for a number of years to state the energy parameters.
The CO2 emissions of the building are a mandatory part of the energy performance certificate. Because heat pumps significantly reduce the energy consumption of older buildings with relatively little effort, switching to regenerative environmental energy raises the house to a contemporary energy efficiency class even without extensive (full) energy refurbishment and thus secures the value of the property.
