DeWarmte B.V. is a Dutch manufacturer and installer of residential heat pump systems headquartered in The Hague.[1] The company develops hybrid and all-electric heating technologies.[2][3]

History

DeWarmte was founded in 2018 in Delft by Sander Wapperom and Auke de Vries, who previously studied mechanical engineering at the Delft University of Technology.[4][5]

In 2019, the founders developed the HeatCycle, a system that recovers heat from wastewater to reduce domestic gas consumption.[6][7] The technology was presented as an innovative approach to sustainable heating.[8]

The company introduced the Pomp AO hybrid heat pump in 2021, enabling partial electrification of home heating.[9][10]

In 2024, DeWarmte launched the Pomp T heat pump boiler, designed to operate in combination with the Pomp AO as an all-electric system.[11] Production and installation of the HeatCycle were discontinued in 2024 as the company focused on hybrid and all-electric heat pump technologies.[12]

In 2019, the company received the Rabobank Innovatiefonds award,[13] followed by the ASN Wereldprijs in 2020.[14][15] Its product design was further recognized in 2024 with an iF Design Award.[16]

That same year, DeWarmte was ranked sixth in the KVK Innovation Top 100[1] and was included again in the 2025 edition of this ranking.[17]

In 2023, DeWarmte relocated its operations from Delft to The Hague, while logistics and manufacturing activities were moved to Utrecht.[18]

In 2025, the company was also featured in the MT/Sprout Challenger Top 50.[19][20]

In November 2025, DeWarmte introduced the Pomp MP, a hybrid heat pump developed as a higher-capacity version of the Pomp AO to be used in larger residential properties.[21][22]

Overview

DeWarmte designs, manufactures, and installs heat pump systems for residential buildings.[2] Its main products are Pomp AO, a hybrid heat pump introduced in 2021 that works alongside existing heating systems.[23][24] The company also offers the Pomp T, a 2024 heat pump boiler intended for all-electric setups.[25] Both models can be integrated into existing central-heating pipework and placed in various household locations.[26][27]

As of 2025, DeWarmte employs around 60 people, including its research and development specialists and technical installers.[28] The company's headquarters are located in The Hague, while its logistics and manufacturing operations are based in Utrecht.[29]
