Good news for homeowners in North Rhine-Westphalia: As of January 1, 2024, there are no longer any minimum distances for heat pumps to property boundaries. This means that you can now install a heat pump on your property even more easily and flexibly.
But be careful: Even if the distance regulations are no longer in place, there are still requirements that you must observe when installing a heat pump. For example, you must ensure that the noise pollution from the heat pump is not too high for your neighbors.

FAQ on distance regulations for heat pumps
The state government of North Rhine-Westphalia has already regulated the distance rules for heat pumps via a circular in December 2022, before the new building regulations come into force in January 2024. The distance that a heat pump must maintain from the property boundary has been reduced from three meters to half a meter. This makes it easier to install heat pumps, especially in densely built-up areas.
No, according to the new regulations in NRW, no building permit is required to install a heat pump. However, it must be ensured that the heat pump complies with all public law regulations, including emission control regulations.
It is important to note that the new distancing rules and exceptions only apply to North Rhine-Westphalia. The regulations may vary from state to state.
