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.

And that is precisely where your opportunity lies as an installer.

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.

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.
