Heat pump sales soar across Europe after states cut electricity taxes, data shows

Sales of residential heat pumps have surged across Europe in the first six months of the year. This increase is largely attributed to the recent Iran war, which has driven up oil and gas prices. Additionally, several European countries have cut their electricity taxes, making heat pumps a more attractive option for homeowners. As a result, heat pump sales have jumped by 10% compared to the same period in 2025.

Why it matters

EU states cutting electricity taxes is boosting heat pump sales. The Iran war fallout is also driving demand for alternative energy sources.
