At the VSK, which will be held from February 6 to 9 at the Jaarbeurs in Utrecht, there is much to experience for the installation professional. You will see the latest in all facets of your profession. From heating to scanners, from water softeners and humidifiers to tools and valves. But where should you go if you want to know all about heat pumps? Start with these 22 booths.

Remeha

Remeha is a big player in the Netherlands. They have a variety of heat pumps for all situations to show you at their booth. The hybrid Elga Ace, but also various all-electric heat pumps, air-water, monoblock, split and suitable for heating and cooling.

Hall 12, booth D010

Intergas

Intergas is also big in the Dutch market and has wonderful heat pumps and heat pump technology on the stand. It's really worth asking about the Xtend, and how heat pump and boiler can work together optimally.

Hall 12, booth D092

ATAG Heating

ATAG is a Dutch manufacturer that offers a variety of heat pumps. They claim their heat pumps are the quietest in their class and very easy to connect. Give them a chance to convince you at their booth.

Hall 12, booth C090

Midea

Midea is a global player. They are pleased to show you at their booth the Midea Series Arctic Split, a modular solution with optional hot water tank, and the Midea Series Arctic Tower, a 3-in-1 solution for cooling, heating and domestic water

Hall 7, booth C019

Weheat

Weheat's Blackbird doesn't look out of place anywhere. It uses propane as the refrigerant and every component is completely recyclable. It's also good to ask about the future-proofing of this heat pump. Switching from hybrid to all-electric is a matter of a software update.

Hall 12, booth F060

Etherma

The FIRE + ICE air-to-air heat pump from Etherma is yet another story you can pick up at VSK. It's a small indoor monoblock, so you don't need an outdoor unit. This heat pump is perfect for windows of about 35 square meters. The heat pump is quick and easy to install on an exterior wall.

Hall 8, booth C054

Groupe Atlantic Netherlands

At this provider's booth, you can admire air-to-air and air-to-water heat pumps from the French brand Atlantic. The air/water heat pumps are among the most energy-efficient in the market and champion COP efficiency at freezing temperatures.

They also have a hybrid heat pump without an indoor unit: the Aurea Hybrid add-on. That means there is no need to move the boiler and the space in the home is preserved. The Aurea Hybrid add-on fits any central heating boiler and no f-gas operations are required to install it.

Hall 12, booth D030

Gree

At Gree's booth, you can admire the Versation III heat pump. This heat pump is suitable for heating and cooling homes and offices and provides domestic hot water. Naturally, it is available in a split or monoblock version and can be used in both hybrid and all-electric applications. Be sure to catch up on the Gree two-stage compressor.

Hall 11, booth F076

Technea

Technea supplies monoblock heat pumps from the Austrian brand Ovum. By their own admission, their propane machine is the quietest and most efficient in the world, with a SCOP of 6.02. In terms of noise, this heat pump sits at 39.3 dB, so it could even be on the property line. In fact, there is a maximum of 40 dB there.

Hall 12, booth A090

Gafco and Verholt

It will be music to the ears of many installers: order a completely assembled all-electric heat pump in a SKID and have it in a few days. Plug & Play, how fast do you want to serve your customers? Inventor makes this possible in cooperation with importer Gafco Koude & Klimaat. During VSK this new SKID will be presented. So get caught up on the stand.

Hall 12, booth D126

Vaillant

Vaillant is another boiler manufacturer that has successfully moved into heat pumps. They have several hybrid and all-electric air-water and water-water heat pumps in the aroTHERM and flexoTHERM lines. This VSK is already showing the whisper-quiet aroTHERM Split plus, expected in late 2024. Definitely worth stopping by for more information.

Hall 12, booth C030

Inventum

Inventum Technologies produces heat pumps without an outdoor unit. They are ventilation heat pumps that combine space heating and ventilation in one unit. They can be used both hybrid and all-electric. One of those new products that Inventum Technologies is presenting at its exhibition booth is the Compacto, nominated for this year's VSK Awards in the "Healthy and Comfort" category.

Hall 11, booth C100

Itho Daalderop

This is another Dutch manufacturer that develops and produces 90 percent of its products here. Go look at the Amber, which not only looks very good, but is also very quiet. This heat pump, on the other hand, again has only an outdoor unit. It can be used in a hybrid or all-electric setup.

Hall 8, booth G121

Panasonic

At Panasonic's booth, let us tell you why the Hybrid+ is the smartest heat pump for the future. How can you use it to make homes more sustainable step by step? Furthermore, Panasonic's latest generation of heat pumps will be on display at VSK. For example, the Aquarea L-series heat pump. This all-electric air-water heat pump series is designed to maximize the properties of the refrigerant propane.

Hall 12, booth C120

Nefit Bosch

In 2004, Nefit and Bosch teamed up and the result was some beautiful technology. Be updated on the latest technology at the stand. For example, the Compress Hybrid 5800i AW will be presented at VSK. This hybrid monoblock solution uses propane as the refrigerant. And you can be told how to neatly conceal a heat pump on the roof.

Hall 12, booth A003

NIBE

This is a Swedish manufacturer. They produced their first heat pump more than 40 years ago, so there is a wealth of experience to be found there. Also good to realize: these heat pumps are based on the Scandinavian climate. That's something else than those winters of ours. Reason enough to take a look and get updated.

Hall 13, booth A030

Encor

Unlike most other manufacturers, Encor focuses on ground heat. This is extracted from the ground using a closed ground heat exchanger. This different approach makes a visit to the booth more than worthwhile.

Hall 12, booth A070

Alutherm Heating

Alutherm Heating supplies a hybrid heat pump, the Hybrid Connect2. With smart control, this solution is ideal for boiler replacement or renovation projects.

Hall 11, booth B030

Heatcomp

Hall 12, booth F121

Viessmann

Are you curious about the combination of heat pump, solar panels and batteries? Then you can't skip Viessmann. The beautiful and smart heat pump Vilocal makes a visit to the booth worthwhile anyway.

Hall 12, booth E070

Western Air Conditioning

Western Air Conditioning's focus this VSK is entirely on propane heat pumps, a technology that has the potential to transform traditional HVAC systems. With this choice, they want to shine a light on a sustainable and efficient solution for Nonresidential construction. If you want to know what all is behind this, stop by their booth

Hall 10, booth F098

Monarch

Finally, an oddball that is still worthwhile if you want to learn more about engineering. Monarch shows you how mechanical and electrical engineering come together in a heat pump. Because that's not just a device to install, it's also a complex electronic system.
