Heat Pump

If you want to install a heat pump system for extracting heat from the ground, surface water, or groundwater, you must notify the environmental and health protection administration within the municipality. Notification is required to ensure that the installation meets the Environmental Code requirements and does not harm the environment or human health.

In some municipalities, local regulations may require a permit instead of notification to install a heat pump system. Contact your municipality to find out what applies in your area.

Requirements

  • Notification: Heat pump systems for extracting heat from the ground, surface water, or groundwater must be notified to the municipality's environmental and health protection committee.
  • Local regulations: Some municipalities may have regulations requiring a permit instead of notification. Check with your municipality.
  • Environmental considerations: The installation must be designed and operated so that it does not cause harm to the environment or human health.

Procedure

  • Notification or application: Submit notification or application to the municipality where the installation will be located.
  • Processing: The municipality reviews the notification or application and may impose requirements for protective measures or conditions.
  • Supervision: The municipality supervises the installation to ensure it complies with applicable requirements.
