Wärmepumpe (Germany)

A Wärmepumpe (heat pump) in Germany is a device that transfers heat from the outside environment—such as air, ground, or water—into a building for heating purposes. It operates using a refrigeration cycle similar to an air conditioner but in reverse, extracting heat even at low temperatures. This technology is energy-efficient and environmentally friendly, often powered by electricity, which can come from renewable sources. Wärmepumpen are increasingly popular in Germany as a sustainable alternative to traditional heating systems, helping to reduce carbon emissions and comply with climate goals.
