Key highlights
🌍
EU Blue Angel certified
Blue Angel is Germany's most rigorous eco-label — covering energy efficiency, refrigerant GWP, noise and manufacturing sustainability. One of only a few heat pumps to earn this certification
🔊
46 dBA — very quiet operation
Among the quietest heat pumps in this directory — suitable for installations where noise is a planning consideration or where the outdoor unit is close to a window or boundary
🏠
Bosch Home Connect ecosystem
Integrates natively with Bosch and Siemens home appliances via the Home Connect platform — heat pump, dishwasher, oven and washing machine from a single app
🏠 Suitable for
New buildWell-insulated retrofitDetached homesUnderfloor heating
Compatibility note: Partial — up to 62°C, suitable for newer radiator systems. A SEAI-registered heat pump installer will complete a heat loss assessment and radiator compatibility check before installation — this is required as part of the grant process.
✅ What we like
- EU Blue Angel certification — most rigorous environmental standard available
- 46 dBA — very quiet outdoor unit
- SCOP 4.65 — good seasonal efficiency for a mid-range unit
- Alexa and Google Home native integration — full voice control
- SEAI grant eligible — up to €12,500 (houses, fossil fuel switchers, from 3 Feb 2026)
- Bosch Home Connect app — unified smart home ecosystem
⚠️ Worth knowing
- 62°C maximum flow temperature — lower than most rivals, may limit retrofit compatibility
- Hot water cylinder not included
- Fewer Bosch heat pump installers in Ireland than Daikin or Worcester Bosch
- SCOP slightly below best-in-class (Vaillant 5.20, Samsung 4.90)
💧 Compatible hot water cylinders
The Compress 7000i AW 7 kW requires a separately purchased hot water cylinder with a large primary coil (minimum 2.5 m²) to work efficiently at heat pump flow temperatures of 45–55°C. These cylinders are confirmed compatible with Bosch heat pumps. Browse all cylinders →

☀️ Pair with solar panels — maximise your SEAI grants in Ireland
A heat pump and solar panels are the most powerful renewable combination available to Irish homeowners today. Your Bosch heat pump runs entirely on electricity — solar generates that electricity from your roof at zero cost. Both qualify for substantial SEAI grants. See the full Solar Panel Directory for all models available in Ireland.

Maximum total combined grant€14,600
💡 Apply BEFORE installation begins. Both the Heat Pump and Solar PV grants require a SEAI Letter of Offer before any contractor starts work. You can apply for both in the same process — ask your installer to coordinate a combined application. Also note: 9% VAT applies to heat pump supply and installation (reduced from 23% since 1 Jan 2025).
🌡️ Why a heat pump and solar are the perfect pair: A heat pump runs entirely on electricity — and a solar system generates free electricity from your roof. A typical 4kWp solar system generates ~3,400–3,800 kWh/year. Your Bosch Compress 7000i AW 7 kW uses ~3,000–5,000 kWh/year for heating and hot water. With both installed, your solar covers a large portion of your heat pump's electricity use — at zero cost. The combination is the highest-savings renewable upgrade available to Irish homeowners today.
