Air Heat Pump Installation Requires Permission
Consumers find it difficult to navigate among different heating solutions – there are heat pumps based on ground-source, air-to-air, and air-to-water technology. A heat pump is a heating device that uses energy collected from nature to heat a building or warm water, utilizing thermal energy stored in the environment, and therefore it is considered one of the more environmentally friendly heating devices.
Why should you prefer an air heat pump and what should you know about its installation?
Anyone who has dealt with carrying wood and heating a stove knows how tedious it can be on a dark and cold winter evening to wait for a room to warm up. That's why many people have installed an air heat pump in their home to get rid of daily stove heating. Although it is a heating device, people think it doesn't need to be registered, but rather it is more like a household appliance, such as a dishwasher or refrigerator, which is simply connected to the electrical network.
For this reason, it can happen that when selling real estate, this small detail can spoil a successful sales transaction. Problems arise precisely when a bank is also involved in the purchase and sale transaction. The loan applicant sends the bank existing information about the real estate being purchased, the bank checks all the data, looks at the building register and discovers that the air heat pump as a heating element is not registered. In such a case, the bank wants to correct the register data before issuing the loan, which can be quite time-consuming, and also involves additional costs. If the buyer doesn't use a bank and accepts this shortcoming, then the obligation to enter the correct heating device in the register transfers to the new owner.
Useful to know
It's worth remembering that an air heat pump is a heating device and before installing it, you need to submit a construction notice and a project to the local authority, and you must keep the user manuals. The project can also be drawn up by the property owner himself, but it must meet the requirements. In the case of an apartment building, the consent of the homeowners' association, i.e., the consent of all co-owners, is also required when installing an air heat pump.
Like anything else, when it comes to registering an air heat pump, it is easier and more cost-effective to complete the necessary procedures before a quick sales process begins. That's why it's worth taking some time when installing an air heat pump and doing some background research; additional information is also worth asking from the company that installs the pump.
