Problem
Hybrid heat pumps and air‑conditioners generate audible fan and compressor noise that disturbs occupants and neighbours, especially in dense residential areas.
Solution
REDUCD supplies prefabricated acoustic enclosures that surround the unit and attenuate sound by up to 14 dB (approximately 75 % perceived reduction). The casings are built from Magnelis‑galvanised steel, which provides high corrosion resistance and long service life even in coastal environments. Interior surfaces are lined with recycled acoustic wool to absorb airborne noise, while the heavy steel shell adds mass‑based damping. Customers can choose from five standard free‑standing or wall‑mounted sizes, or request a custom‑fit design for atypical installations. Installation requires only 12 bolts and can be completed in under an hour without specialised tools; REDUCD also offers optional full‑service delivery and on‑site fitting. The outer panels can be powder‑coated in any RAL colour to match building aesthetics, and the entire product is manufactured locally using up to 50 % recycled material to minimise carbon impact.
Target Audience
Primary customers are residential homeowners installing hybrid heat pumps or air‑conditioners, as well as architects, builders, and renovation contractors who need compliant, low‑noise enclosures for new builds or retrofits.
