Heat Pump Noise Control in Private House in Bankya




Project Overview
A private homeowner in Bankya contacted DECIBEL regarding noise from a heat pump installed in their garden. The operation of the heat pump was disturbing both the client and the neighboring house, creating discomfort in what should have been a quiet residential environment.
DECIBEL was asked to provide a solution that would contain the noise without interfering with the pump’s functionality.
Quiet Comfort for Residential Heat Pump Installations
Heat pumps are becoming increasingly popular for private homes, but their constant noise can cause tension with neighbors and reduce the comfort of outdoor spaces. By applying professional soundproofing solutions, it is possible to keep the benefits of sustainable heating and cooling while ensuring peace and quiet for residents.
Challenge
The challenge was to design a solution that reduced noise to acceptable levels while still allowing the heat pump to operate efficiently. The enclosure needed to provide sound insulation while also ensuring sufficient airflow to prevent overheating.
Scope of Work
- On-site inspection and assessment of noise disturbance
- Design of a custom acoustic enclosure for the heat pump
- Integration of ventilation elements to maintain proper airflow
- Supply and installation of soundproofing materials tailored for outdoor use
Solution
DECIBEL designed and installed a soundproof enclosure around the heat pump. The enclosure was made with high-performance acoustic panels capable of reducing noise while withstanding outdoor conditions. To keep the pump running efficiently, the enclosure included properly sized ventilation openings, ensuring that airflow and cooling capacity were not compromised.
Result
The soundproof enclosure successfully reduced the noise generated by the heat pump, restoring peace to the homeowner’s property and preventing disturbance to the neighboring house. The client expressed satisfaction with the outcome, noting that the solution preserved both comfort and good relations with the neighbors.
