Overview

• Sales of heat pumps in Germany jumped 35% in the first quarter of 2025 as subsidies under the BEG program and the Building Energy Act drive adoption.
• Installation quotes range from €20,000 to €63,000, with an average price of €36,300, according to a review of nearly 200 offers by Verbraucherzentrale Rheinland-Pfalz.
• Only about 25% of examined offers included all required details, while nearly half omitted foundation costs and one third failed to list electrical installation charges.
• Major providers such as Thermondo, Enpal and Aira now offer financing plans starting around €85 per month, but extended interest on 10–15-year terms can almost double total expenses.
• The Verbraucherzentrale plans to roll out a free nationwide 'Wärmepumpen-Angebots-Check' to help homeowners compare and evaluate heat pump offers.
