From next year, homeowners will receive a greater financial incentive to replace their gas or oil boiler with a heat pump. According to the Danish Energy Agency, the subsidy in the Heat Pump Fund will increase from DKK 17,000 to DKK 27,000, and this is pleasing to the industry, which has long called for stronger financial frameworks for the green transition. This is stated by the Heat Pump Industry in a press release.
- The higher support gives more people the opportunity to take the next step. It is a welcome boost that can encourage more people to replace their gas and oil boilers, says Niels Peter Skov, chairman of the Heat Pump Industry, VPI.
According to an analysis from Voxmeter, prepared for the Heat Pump Industry, only about half of Danes are aware of the Heat Pump Fund. The industry therefore believes that a strengthened effort to spread awareness is necessary if the scheme is to be fully utilized.
- We experience that the subsidy itself does not create enough activity. Far too few people know about the scheme. Therefore, marketing should be strengthened so that more Danes discover how much they can save – both financially and in CO2 – by switching to a heat pump, says Niels Peter Skov.
At the same time, the figures show that only every tenth heat pump is currently sold with a subsidy, even though there are still funds in the pool. The industry therefore sees great potential in the increased subsidy, but also points to the need for stable frameworks.
The heat pump industry proposes that the pool be converted into a deduction from 2027, so that both companies and homeowners have greater predictability in planning investments and capacity.
