Heat-Pump Sales Plummet by Almost 50% Across Europe
by Will Jones 27 September 2024 7:00 PM

Heat-pump sales in Europe plummeted by 47% in the first half of the year, as fewer households switched from gas boilers. The Telegraph has more.

Just 765,000 heat pumps were sold in 2024 across the 13 European countries that represent 80% of the market, the European Heat Pump Association said.

Over the same period in 2023, 1.44 million heat pumps were sold in countries including France, Italy, Germany and Sweden.

It means fewer than 1.5 million heat pumps are likely to be sold in 2024, which is the lowest level since 2019.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

Somewhere in all that, the technology has achieved market saturation at its current price point and efficiency.

That happens. Then, whatever it is, it gets cheaper.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
