From central heating boiler to heat pump — switch step by step without risk
Switching from gas to electric heating sounds daunting, but with the right order, it's actually quite manageable. This guide explains how we approach this at New-Heating: fairly, in phases, and while maintaining comfort.
1. Start with insight, not with purchase
Many people think the choice of a heat pump starts with the appliance itself, but it all starts with your home. We first consider insulation, radiators, and your annual gas consumption. A properly tuned heat pump runs more smoothly, quietly, and efficiently.
2. Hybrid: the smart intermediate step
With a hybrid heat pump, your boiler remains in place, but it only kicks in when it freezes. Ideal if your home isn't yet perfectly insulated. This way, you save gas immediately, without the risk of cold or loss of comfort.
At New-Heating we work with brands like Haier ProWarm and SPRSUN Select — quiet and reliable systems.
3. Fully electric: ready for the future
If your home is well-insulated and has low-temperature heating, you can go fully electric. The central heating boiler disappears, and the heat pump provides heating and hot water year-round via a heat pump boiler .
4. Connection and subsidy
Switching is more financially attractive than ever. Thanks to the ISDE subsidy, you can get up to €3,000 back on the installation of a heat pump or boiler. We'll help you with the application, including photos, serial numbers, and invoices.
This way you avoid mistakes that will lead to rejection later.
5. Maintenance and performance
A heat pump requires little maintenance, but regular filter cleaning and an annual inspection keep it running smoothly. We schedule service visits intelligently—preferably outside the heating season—so you never miss a thing.

What does it yield?
- Up to 70% less gas consumption (hybrid)
- CO₂ reduction of 1,000+ kilos per year
- Lower energy bills and a quieter indoor climate
But the biggest difference? Peace and quiet. A properly tuned heat pump operates so quietly that you'll forget it's even on.

We'll work together to determine what's possible and what's not in your home. No empty promises, just clarity.
Planning to replace your boiler? Think beyond just new gas.
Every year, thousands of households replace their old central heating boilers, often without considering that there are better alternatives. Technology has reached a point where a heat pump is no longer a pipe dream, but a logical next step. Especially with current gas prices and subsidies.
In our region – from 's-Hertogenbosch to Tilburg – we're seeing a clear trend: people initially opt for a hybrid solution and then switch completely after a few years. This way, you spread the investment and get to know your system.
Frequently asked questions from practice
- Can I keep my current radiators? Often, especially with hybrid systems. We measure the water temperature and only then determine if adjustments are necessary.
- How long does the switchover take? On average, 1 to 2 days, depending on the plumbing and electrical system. So you'll never be without heating for days.
- Is a three-phase connection required? Only for fully electric systems with higher power. We will handle the application with the grid operator if necessary.
"Our best systems aren't the most expensive, but the quietest. That speaks volumes about proper tuning."
In short
- Begin with insight, not with haste.
- Hybrid heat pump = fast savings without risk.
- Fully electric = silent, clean and future-proof.
- Subsidies make the transition financially feasible.
