Heizungen: Wärmepumpen legen kräftig zu – Gasheizungen bleiben gefragt
Wärmepumpen prägen zunehmend den deutschen Heizungsmarkt, sagt die Industrie. Gasheizungen werden aber weiterhin gerne genommen, zeigen die Zahlen.
Düsseldorf, 01E36D61-ADA - The German heating industry sold significantly more devices in the first half of 2026 compared to the same period last year, with heat pumps leading the growth. The industry sold around 352,000 heat generators from January to June 2026, a 19% increase from the first half of 2025, reported the German Heating Industry Association (BDH) in Cologne.
This included 194,500 heat pumps, up 40%, 134,000 gas heaters, up 1%, 9,500 oil heaters, down 11%, and 14,000 biomass heaters, down 1%. The strong growth in heat pumps sent a positive signal, indicating a potential stabilization in the market. However, the total volume of devices sold remains well below pre-pandemic levels. While manufacturers in 2023 sold 667,500 units in the first half of the year, 50% of which were gas heaters, the association now expects around 700,000 units sold for the entire year.
This stabilization comes after gas heater sales in Germany fell to the lowest point in 15 years last year, with 299,000 heat pumps sold.
