A heat pump works like a fridge in reverse. Instead of removing heat from inside and pushing it out, it takes free energy from the air or ground outside your home and moves it inside, converting it into heat for your radiators, underfloor heating and hot water.
For every unit of electricity a heat pump uses, it delivers up to four units of heat, meaning 75–80% of the energy heating your home is completely free, drawn from the environment around you.
In summer, the process reverses automatically, the same system that heats your home in winter can cool it during a heatwave, without any additional equipment.
Ireland's mild climate is ideal for heat pump technology. Even in Atlantic coastal areas, Stiebel Eltron systems are built to withstand wet conditions and perform efficiently year-round.
As Ireland's exclusive Stiebel Eltron partner, we install the full range of air source and ground source systems. Models within each series share the same form and design, output and specification vary. We recommend the right model for your home during your free consultation.
Air source heat pumps extract energy from the ambient air outside your home. Installed outdoors, on the ground, wall-mounted or on a flat roof, they are ideal for most new builds and retrofits, with no ground works required. Built to withstand Ireland's Atlantic coastal conditions. Air source models operate down to-25°C and can provide both heating and cooling.

Premium air source heat pump for outdoor installation. Exceptionally quiet operation makes flexible installation possible, on a flat roof, wall-mounted or on the ground. Compatible with existing radiators and underfloor heating. PV system compatible for even greater energy savings.

Efficient and cost-effective air source heat pump for new builds and modernisation projects. High efficiency and quiet operation even at high output, ideal for homes looking for outstanding performance at an optimum price-performance ratio.

Two models covering different ends of the performance range. The WPL 25 ACS is the most powerful unit in the air source lineup — ideal for larger properties. The WPL-A 07 Premium achieves the highest flow temperature in the range at 75°C, making it fully compatible with existing radiator systems and the quietest option at 48 dB(A).
Ground source heat pumps draw energy from the earth's natural, stable heat via horizontal collectors or vertical probes. The unit is installed indoors, compact, quiet and out of sight. Ireland's mild climate keeps soil temperatures remarkably consistent year-round, making ground source systems exceptionally efficient here. Ideal for larger homes or rural sites with land available.

Compact indoor ground source heat pump for heating, hot water and optional cooling. Inverter technology precisely matches output to your home's needs — more efficient, quieter and more consistent than conventional on/off systems. SCOP values up to 5.59 confirmed across the range.
Compact, demand-led domestic hot water heat pumps for homes and businesses that want efficient hot water without a full heating system. Uses up to 70% less energy than conventional electric immersion. Fully compatible with solar PV, uses surplus electricity to heat water when available. Indoor or outdoor installation.

Switching to a heat pump is a significant decision.
Here are the questions we hear most often, and the straight answers.
Yes. Stiebel Eltron heat pumps are engineered to perform in our climate zone. Even at the lowest outside temperatures, you get consistent warmth and hot water, with no drop in comfort. Ireland's mild winters actually make heat pumps more efficient here than in many parts of Europe where they're standard household technology.
No. For every unit of electricity a heat pump uses, it delivers up to four units of heat, 75–80% of the energy is free from the environment. Combined with SEAI grants of up to €12,500 and lower running costs than oil or gas, most customers see a significant reduction in their annual heating spend.
Not necessarily. Stiebel Eltron heat pumps operate at 75°C flow temperature, fully compatible with most existing radiator systems. We confirm compatibility during your free home visit. Many of our retrofit customers keep their existing radiators entirely.
Stiebel Eltron backs every heat pump with a 5-year warranty, extendable to 7 years with a service log, and guarantees original spare parts availability for 10 years. Nutherm provides annual servicing and technical support for the full life of your system. We don't disappear after installation.
Once it's set up, a heat pump largely looks after itself. Stiebel Eltron systems can be controlled from your smartphone. Before we leave your home after commissioning, we walk you through the controls and make sure you're fully comfortable using the system.
Stiebel Eltron has been manufacturing heat pumps since 1976, nearly 50 years. Over 500,000 units produced, and a Stiebel product is commissioned somewhere in the world every 15 seconds. Red Dot Award. iF Design Award. EHPA quality label. This is mature, proven engineering, not a trend.
"1st class job done by the lads in Nutherm in installing our Stiebel Eltron geothermal heat pump. They were always on time when planned and left the place clean and tidy. Would highly recommend them. Happy customers"
"The quality of workmanship was exceptional, with every detail completed to the highest standard... communication was excellent throughout...highly skilled plumbing and heating company, we would not hesitate to recommend them."
"Nutherm Galway were by far the most professional and reliable contractors we worked with. Their team went above and beyond to make sure everything was done to perfection, and we couldn't more satisfied with the results. The best tradesmen that entered our house throughout the entire project. Highly recommend them!"
"We have been a customer of Nutherm Galway since 2007. During that time, we have enjoyed a really warm and comfortable home and have always been really well looked after by the Nutherm Galway Team, whenever we needed any help."
"When it came time to replace our old geothermal system, Joe and Nutherm were our only call. They handled everything from design through to installation. The house is always comfortable, bills are significantly lower -and our daughter liked the results so much she had Nutherm install her system too." Joe Curran — May 2026
