Invitation to the press breakfast of the Association of Heat Pump Austria
As a prelude to the 2025 energy saving fair
Climate policy at the turning point: Can we afford that?
The beginning of the year 2025 is characterized by central climate policy course. “I can only agree with the appeal to maintain effective climate protection measures. Climate protection is neither luxury nor ideology, but the protection of our livelihoods for future generations, as the scientist of 2024 Sigrid Stagl emphasizes. ”Realizes Association President Richard Freimüller. The heat pump, the emission-free and energy-efficient heating system, is the key technology for energy and heat transition. The future government also has to integrate sustainable climate protection measures into its political program if it wants to risk not only added value and jobs, but also billions of fines.
One thing is clear: in order to achieve the climate goals, Austria must reduce its emissions by 48 % compared to 2005 by 2030. Effective climate protection measures are possible in every budget.
Positive market development and challenges
2024 was a challenging year. The first half of the year was characterized by cautious sales figures despite a high number of funding applications. The increasing demand for heat pumps was clearly reflected in the second half of the year. The first market data for 2024 confirm this development. With over 45,800 heating heat pumps sold, sales of 2023 (43,393 pieces) were exceeded by 5.71 %.
Nevertheless, it remains clear: In order to sustainably promote the decarbonization of the heating and building sector with heat pumps, significantly higher efforts are necessary. The Austrian heat pump industry is ready to accept these challenges. Innovation, motivation and strong cohesion make you a reliable partner for the energy and heat transition!
