European Heat Pump Association (EHPA) 3

General assembly • May 3rd, 2007 • Paris

EU-cert – Why?
• Quality of heat pump systems depend more
on planning, design and installation than the
quality of fossil systems
• Markets are growing fast compared to a small
pool of qualified installers
• Raise of confidence in the
heat pump market
