Heat pumps are the centerpiece of EU decarbonization policy. Every country heavily subsidizes them — especially when replacing fossil fuel heating. An air-water heat pump costs 8,000-15,000 EUR installed, but subsidies can cover 30-70% of this. Germany's BEG EM offers up to 30% (base 15% + heating replacement bonus 10% + natural refrigerant bonus 5%). France's MaPrimeRenov provides 4,000-11,000 EUR depending on income.
| Country | Scheme | Rate | Typical Amount |

| 🇫🇷 France | MaPrimeRenov + CEE | Income-based, up to 90% for very modest | 6,000-14,000 EUR combined |
| 🇩🇪 Germany | BEG EM | 15-30% of costs | 3,000-9,000 EUR |
| 🇮🇹 Italy | Ecobonus 65% | 65% tax credit | 6,000-10,000 EUR |
| 🇧🇪 Belgium | Regional premiums | Varies by region/income | 2,000-9,000 EUR |
| 🇪🇸 Spain | PREE | 35-65% of costs | 3,000-8,000 EUR |

Financially, yes in most cases when subsidies are factored in. A 12,000 EUR heat pump with 8,000 EUR in subsidies costs only 4,000 EUR out-of-pocket. Operating costs are typically 30-50% lower than gas. Payback period: 3-7 years depending on energy prices.
