The energy transition 
creates opportunities for installers

daBo: the solution for noise from outdoor units of heat pumps and air conditioning systems

Demand for heat pumps and air-conditioning systems is growing rapidly. Due to rising energy prices and the energy transition, more and more customers are opting for sustainable solutions. But one problem is still too often underestimated: noise pollution from outdoor units. What may seem like a minor detail to one customer is a decisive factor for another. And that is precisely where your opportunity lies as an installer.

Smart, well thought-out and efficient

daBo has been developed as a high-performance solution for reducing noise from heat pumps and airconditioners. daBo makes the difference between a standard installation and a complete comfort solution

Heat pump subsidies worldwide are driving rapid growth

Heat pumps are rapidly gaining popularity, largely thanks to various subsidies that make the switch an attractive option; and with oil and gas prices being so unpredictable, we are increasingly looking for a stable and sustainable solution. But the more installations there are, the more important effective noise control becomes.

Modern acoustic solutions such as the daBo sound barrier make it possible to integrate heat pumps into any environment without compromising efficiency.

  • Install your daBo noise barrier in 10 minutes and increase your profit margin per project.
  • Solve noise problems for your customers straight away.
  • Stand out immediately from installers who don’t offer a complete solution.
  • daBo is exceptionally durable and maintenance-free.

Noise comfort is becoming increasingly important in the context of the sustainable energy transition

Our daBo experts attended the VSK+E 2026 trade fair in Utrecht alongside ISOPARTNER Netherlands. The many discussions we had with installers, consultants, housing associations and policymakers confirmed one clear trend: sustainable insulation and heat pumps play a key role in the energy transition. Acoustic comfort is becoming increasingly important in this context, and noise standards are becoming ever stricter.

Outdoor units are now a standard feature in any residential setting. That is why we have developed the daBo sound barrier as a high-performance solution for reducing noise from heat pumps and air conditioning units.

Noise control is becoming a decisive factor in the sale of heat pumps

Noise pollution from the outdoor units of heat pumps and air conditioning systems is an often underestimated problem. True acoustic comfort begins with peace and quiet.

Recent media coverage by De Telegraaf and BNNVara in the Netherlands and the VRT in Belgium confirms this. Reports indicate that the noise from outdoor units is increasingly perceived as a nuisance, particularly in densely built-up residential areas. This leads not only to complaints, but also to tension and stress between neighbours.

Noise control is becoming essential

What used to be a minor detail is now a decisive factor. Noise control is a crucial part of a high-quality installation and an important deciding factor for customers.
