Summary

Sales figures of heat pumps for space heating in the residential sector are steadily rising although no national heat pump program is in force in Austria. Reasons for this development can be mainly found in the activities of the Leistungsgemeinschaft Wärmepumpe, the heat pump manufacturers and distributors association of Austria, and in the promotion activities of some far-sighted utilities. The main market consists of new single-family houses. In Austria, the market share of direct-evaporation ground-coupled heat pump systems is almost 66%. The article discusses the reasons behind the success of this highly efficient technology.
