Reply to comment by Joezev98 in Germany says it is no longer reliant on Russian energy by scot816

Yeah Germany too is now on the way to FINALLY adopt heat pumps... but it will take many years to transform basically every building in the country. Especially since heat pumps used to be so uncommon, only very few companies can actually install them.

While a surge in the industry will cause new companies to arise, it will take a while for them to establish themselves.

Now lets not overreact even before the war there were 130000 new heatpumps installed in germany every year. It is not like this is entirely unknown territory. Seeing as we actually also produce heatpumps in large scale in germany ourselves, I do not see why we wouldnt be able to install a lot in a few years time. Current goal of the economy and climate minister is 500 000 new heatpumps each year.

Main reason is most houses aren’t fit enough to really make the trouble worth it.
