Criza petrolului crește vertiginos vânzările de pompe de căldură în Europa

Sales of residential heat pumps in Europe surged in the first half of the year due to rising energy prices and tax reductions. Homeowners purchased 1.16 million units across 12 countries, up from 1.05 million in the same period of 2025. The conflict in Iran disrupted oil and gas supplies, driving prices to $126 per barrel. The European Commission encouraged EU governments to lower electricity taxes and promote renewable energy. Heat pumps, which transfer thermal energy instead of burning fuel, gained popularity as electricity prices rose. Countries with reduced electricity taxes saw increased sales, with Germany leading in installations due to subsidies.
