How environmentally friendly is a heat pump?

A heat pump is one of the most environmentally friendly heating systems, as it produces significantly fewer emissions than fossil fuel heating systems such as oil or gas heating. It uses renewable energy from the air, ground or water, thereby actively contributing to the reduction of CO₂ emissions. Thanks to its high efficiency, it effectively converts environmental energy into heating power and requires only a fraction of the electricity. In combination with green electricity, the heat pump becomes a virtually emission-free heating solution that combines climate protection and cost efficiency.
