A heat pump draws free energy from the air, the water or the ground to heat your home, produce your hot water and cool the house in summer. Ecolive advises, installs, services and repairs your system anywhere in Wallonia.

An environmentally sound and economical solution
Three quarters of the energy comes from outside, free of charge.
Heat pumps are heating and cooling systems that keep gaining ground thanks to their energy efficiency and their low environmental impact. By using natural resources, air, water or the ground, they deliver steady warmth to your home while cutting your carbon footprint and your energy costs.
The principle: for every kilowatt-hour of electricity consumed, the pump returns several kilowatt-hours of heat. Connected to solar panels, that electricity becomes free in turn.
Heating
Underfloor heating, radiators or forced air: steady, gentle warmth all year round.
Cooling
In reversible mode, the same system cools your house during the warm months.
Domestic hot water
Air-to-water models also produce the household hot water, with no oil or gas boiler.
Paired with solar
Powered by your panels, the pump runs on your own electricity: the full self-consumption cycle.
Understanding heat pumps
Air-to-air, air-to-water, water-to-water: which one for your house?
Our specialists help you understand the types available and choose the one that suits your home, your plot and your budget best.
Air-to-air
Extracts heat from outside air and distributes it indoors to heat the house. Usable in reversible mode to cool it during the warm months.
Best for
Heating and cooling living areas, houses with no central hot water circuit.
Domestic hot water
No (to be provided separately).
Strength
Heating and cooling in a single system.
Air-to-water
Captures heat from outside air and transfers it to a water circuit: underfloor heating or radiators, to heat the house and produce domestic hot water.
Best for
Replacing an oil or gas boiler, houses with radiators or underfloor heating.
Domestic hot water
Yes.
Strength
The most common solution in renovation work.
Water-to-water
Uses water as its heat source, drawing heat from groundwater or a well. Particularly efficient in areas where groundwater is plentiful.
Best for
Plots with an accessible water table or well, projects aiming for the best efficiency.
Domestic hot water
Yes.
Strength
Very stable efficiency, independent of the outside temperature.

Frequently asked questions
Heat pumps: what people ask before going ahead.
Does a heat pump work when it freezes?
Yes. Recent air-to-water and air-to-air heat pumps are designed to draw heat from outside air even at sub-zero temperatures. Their efficiency drops in severe cold, which is why sizing and the choice of model for your home matter so much.
What is the difference between air-to-air, air-to-water and water-to-water?
Air-to-air heats and cools room air directly. Air-to-water feeds a water circuit: underfloor heating, radiators and domestic hot water. Water-to-water draws heat from groundwater or a well and suits plots where it is plentiful.
Can a heat pump be used as air conditioning?
Yes, in reversible mode: the same system cools the house during the warm months. This is particularly true of air-to-air heat pumps.
Does a heat pump need servicing?
Regular servicing extends its life and keeps its energy efficiency up. Ecolive offers tailored service contracts with regular inspections and preventive maintenance.
Can the heat pump run on solar panels?
That is the ideal pairing: the electricity your panels produce runs the heat pump, which raises your self-consumption and cuts the heating bill sharply. Ecolive installs and sizes both. See solar panels.
