Depending on your insulation and energy label, a hybrid solution can be much more cost-effective. An all-electric heat pump works best in well-insulated homes (energy label A or B), whereas a hybrid pump also functions well in older homes with energy label C or D.
The hybrid heat pump uses the gas boiler only during extreme cold, allowing you to save an average of 50-70% on gas without major renovations. For most Dutch mid-terrace houses, this is currently the most cost-effective choice.
Whichever system you choose, pairing it with green electricity maximises your sustainability impact. Vandebron supplies 100% Dutch green energy — straight from local wind and solar — and new customers receive up to €420 welcome discount.
