This is an estimate based on average 2026 prices. Actual costs may vary. Always request multiple quotes for an exact price.

Cost factors

The total cost usually consists of:

  • Heat pump and parts: 50-65% of the total
  • Installation: 20-30% of the total
  • Electrical and piping: 10-15% of the total
  • Adjustments and setup: 5-10% of the total

These percentages can vary depending on the situation and materials chosen.

Why do prices vary?

  • Heat pump type: Hybrid or all-electric determines the investment.
  • Outdoor unit location: Placement and noise requirements can add work.
  • System adjustments: Piping and electrical upgrades influence cost.
  • Insulation level: Better insulation can reduce required capacity.

Subsidies & incentives

For the purchase and installation of a heat pump, you may be eligible for regional renovation grants (Investment Subsidy for Sustainable Energy and Energy Savings). This subsidy is available for existing homes (not for new construction) and can significantly reduce your investment.

regional grants Subsidy 2026

The regional renovation grants for heat pumps works as follows:

  • Base amount for first air-water heat pump: €1,025
  • Amount per kW: €225 per kilowatt from 1 kW onwards
  • A+++ label bonus: €200 extra for heat pumps with EPC rating A+++
  • Minimum subsidy: €500

Example Calculation

An air-water heat pump of 4 kW with A+++ label qualifies for:

  • Base amount: €1,025
  • 4 kW × €225 = €900
  • A+++ bonus: €200
  • Total: €2,125 subsidy

Requirements and Changes 2026

  • Budget: €509 million has been allocated for regional renovation grants in 2026.
  • Application period: You can apply for subsidy from January 5, 2026 until December 31, 2030, within 24 months after installation.
  • Important change: From 2026, there is no longer a subsidy for split air-water heat pumps with a refrigerant charge below 3 kg and a GWP (Global Warming Potential) above 750. This mainly concerns heat pumps with refrigerants R410A and R407C.

Combination Options

The regional renovation grants for heat pumps can be combined with:

  • Local municipal subsidies (depending on your municipality)
  • regional renovation grants for insulation measures (cavity wall, roof, floor)
  • Energy saving loan (max. €8,500)

Local considerations in Antwerpen

High (+15%)

Above-average prices due to strong demand, many terraced houses, and difficult access in dense neighborhoods.

Housing characteristics in Antwerpen

Antwerp has a large stock of terraced houses, apartments, and townhouses from the 19th and early 20th centuries. Many projects combine modernization with narrow access routes, small courtyards, and parking pressure, which makes labor time and logistics more important than in smaller Flemish cities.

  • 19th-century belt with many narrow terraced houses
  • strong demand for renovation and energy upgrades
  • loading and unloading in the city takes extra time
  • dense urban fabric and limited parking
  • strong demand for qualified tradespeople
  • more complex logistics and access planning
  • heat pump type and placement affect the price
  • outdoor unit and piping require extra planning
