Have you seen residential buildings like this 🏢 in your city? Many still rely on gas boilers for heating but air-to-water heat pumps can replace them. 🌬️ 💦
But it’s not that simple… ⚠️ Noise emissions, limited space, high costs, lack of big heat pumps...
💡 In #Geneva, we piloted a #solution!

🏚️♨️ #HeatPump or #renovation first? In real life, doing both at the same time is not always feasible. So, what's the best approach? Full/partial renovation or heat pump installation first? 👋 Watch the full video: www.youtube.com/shorts/MVaVK...
