"Rare instances of subpar heat pump functioning"
In a significant shift towards a greener future, heat pumps have emerged as the leading choice for new heating systems in Germany. This year alone, an impressive 139,000 heat pumps have been sold, marking the first time they've secured the top position among sold heating systems in the country.
This trend is backed by a new study published in the prestigious journal 'Cell Reports Sustainability'. The research, led by Christian Vering from RWTH Aachen, compares the climate and environmental friendliness of heat pumps and gas heaters. The study found that heat pumps can save between 48 and 91 percent of greenhouse gases compared to gas heaters, making them a more sustainable choice.
The study also compared various environmental impacts over the entire life cycle of air-water heat pumps and gas boilers. The research group from Aachen found that air-to-water heat pumps have a significantly lower environmental and climate impact over their entire lifecycle compared to gas heaters. This is mainly due to much lower CO₂ emissions during operation and reduced reliance on fossil fuels, resulting in a smaller carbon footprint across manufacturing, usage, and disposal phases.

As of now, approximately 1.7 million heat pumps and 5.6 million gas heaters are installed in residential buildings in Germany. With this new study highlighting the benefits of heat pumps, it's clear that this trend is set to continue, contributing to a greener and more sustainable future for Germany.
