Why Is Heat Pump Implement Slower Than Planned?

Due to the heat pump’s energy efficiency and reduced carbon emissions, it is rated as an alternative for clean energy transformation. As a vital solution accelerating the energy transition, it will largely contribute to Net-Zero Emissions by the 2050 Scenario. However, the heat pump doesn’t foresee a fast market share growth as it should now. The market expectation is good, but the speed seems slower than planned. Why? Here are the two general reasons for the existing heat pump situation in the country.

1. Little Knowledge From the Public

Unlike refrigerators, air conditioners, gas boilers, or fuel boilers which have been around for decades. Not only are they well-known to the public, but they can also be visible in general shopping malls, and there is an existing consumer group. The heat pump is an emerging technology with little knowledge from the public and less attention.

Therefore, local suppliers, shops, and installers need to educate the public, so that the public becomes familiar with heat pump products in a shorter period and reduces the fear of the unknown, which is the first step to opening the market. Try to guide from the aspects that customers are most concerned about, such as the lifespan, maintenance costs, applicability, delivery cycle, security, and energy costs of the heat pump to strengthen the confidence to apply it for the long-term green heating solution at home.

2. Lack of Professional Installers

Heat pump technology has been brought up frequently only in recent years. As a new booming industry, it lacks professional installers in the sector, which reaches nowhere near the number of heat pump installers to deliver the heat pump installation target by 2050. The IEA’s Net-Zero Emissions by 2050 Scenario would require heat pumps installed globally rising from around 180 million in 2020 to around 600 million in 2030.?

Under such ambitious targets and resource urgent, certified installers are needed more than before for the present and future. The governments encourage other related installers to do a job career transfer to the heat pump business. It will surely fasten speed the professional development and stable installation quality. One of the deployments of heat pumps involves training and delivering professional installers to the market, providing a healthy foundation for heat pump development, and making heat pumps a necessity of life.

The lack of public knowledge directly stops consumers choose heat pumps when they seek heating replacements or upgrades, which cuts off the trigger point of heat pump purchase in the first place. Furthermore, professional installers are the foundation stone for the long-term deployment of low-carbon heat pumps or even the vital factor for pushing the electrification process forward. These two reasons combined are slowing the speed of the heat pump path.

In conclusion, even though getting fulfilled is slow now, the demand for efficient, green, and energy-saving products in the heat pump market will continue to rise. The sooner you can open the market and deploy a complete supply chain, the sooner you enlarge the market share.
