Heat pump installers in Drachten: compare 5 companies
Drachten is the beating heart of the Smallingerland municipality and the third-largest town in Fryslân. Famous for its intersections without traffic lights — the 'Shared Space' concept that gained worldwide recognition. That innovative spirit suits a town that thinks ahead on energy matters too.
Five heat pump installers serve Drachten and surroundings. This town of over 45,000 inhabitants has housing stock largely dating from the 1960s-'90s, when Philips and other employers drove rapid growth. Terraced houses, semi-detached homes, and a considerable number of detached properties — all suitable heat pump candidates.
Frisian installers based in Drachten often also serve Heerenveen, Gorredijk, and villages in the Friese Wouden. Local knowledge of Frisian housing stock is their strength.

Why a heat pump in Drachten?
The combination of affordable homes and low installation costs makes Drachten attractive. An €8,000 heat pump in a €225,000 home is an investment that pays for itself within 7-9 years at current energy prices.
The sandy soil in eastern Fryslân is more favourable for ground-source heat pumps than coastal clay. With spacious plots in Drachten-Oost and the surrounding area, a ground-source system is financially feasible.
