NIBE is proud to announce that several of its market-leading heat pump models have been awarded the prestigious Quiet Mark certification, reinforcing the company’s commitment to providing high-performance, low-noise and energy-efficient heating solutions for homes.
The models awarded the Quiet Mark certification include:
• F2050 Air Source Heat Pump – A compact, space-saving heat pump designed for efficiency in both renovations and new builds, offering low noise operation without compromising performance.
• S2125 Air Source Heat Pump – A high-temperature heat pump with exceptional seasonal efficiency, delivering sustainable heating while operating at industry-leading low sound levels.
• S1156 Ground Source Heat Pump – An advanced ground source system known for its quiet and highly efficient heating performance, suitable for properties with access to ground loops or boreholes.
• S1256 Ground Source Heat Pump – A premium ground source heat pump with built-in intelligent controls, ensuring optimised performance with minimal sound output.
• S735 Exhaust Air Heat Pump – A smart indoor heat pump that recovers energy from a home’s ventilation system, providing heating and hot water with ultra-quiet operation.
A common misconception about heat pumps is that they are inherently noisy. In reality, modern heat pumps are engineered with advanced acoustic insulation and smart fan technology to ensure exceptionally quiet operation. According to independent testing, a properly installed air source heat pump (ASHP) typically produces sound levels comparable to a modern dishwasher or refrigerator. The Quiet Mark certification further confirms that NIBE heat pumps meet the highest standards for low-noise operation, making them an ideal choice for homeowners looking for a sustainable and peaceful heating solution.
Quiet Mark is the independent global certification programme associated with the UK Noise Abatement Society charitable foundation, established in 1959. Through rigorous scientific testing and expert technical verification and assessments, Quiet Mark identifies and recognises the quietest, most efficient products across multiple sectors, including home appliances, building materials and commercial equipment.
Paul Smith, Managing Director at NIBE UK, comments: “We are delighted that our heat pumps have received Quiet Mark certification. This recognition underscores our ongoing commitment to developing sustainable heating solutions that not only deliver exceptional energy efficiency but also ensure a comfortable and quiet home environment for our customers.”
Poppy Szkiler, Founder and CEO of Quiet Mark, added: “As the demand for sustainable living solutions grows, so too does the importance of reducing noise in our homes. NIBE’s heat pumps strike the perfect balance between outstanding energy efficiency and low-noise performance. NIBE has achieved Quiet Mark certification for technical excellence in delivering acoustic comfort in residential settings.”
