INVITATION TO HEAT PUMP USER SURVEY in European Countries
INFORSE-Europe is making an online survey on the satisfaction of heat pumps. They are an important heating source in a 100% renewable heating system, so it is important that users are happy with them. Therefore, we are making this survey together with European Environmental Bureau (EEB) and the Coolproducts Campaign for EU+ Norway and UK. Your answers to these questions will, together with answers from users all over Europe, show how satisfied users are with heat pumps and solar heaters. As a result, we hope that we will understand more, what can motivate more people to choose clean heating alternatives.
If you have heat pump as main heating, please fill it in. And if you know others with heat pump heating, please send them the link or share this post. The survey takes approximately 5 minutes.
The links to the survey in different EU languages are: Heat Pump Survey
See final report at Heat Pump Survey 2021
