European Heat Pump Association
Company Overview
European Heat Pump Association (EHPA), an independent Brussels-based sector association (AISBL)
Brussels, Belgium
2000
Approximately 30-50 employees and annual revenue of $4,021,085 (source: prospeo.io)
What They Do
EHPA is a Brussels-based sector association dedicated to promoting awareness and proper deployment of heat pump technology across residential, commercial, and industrial applications in Europe (source: ehpa.org). It represents the heat pump sector, including manufacturers, component suppliers, research institutes, universities, testing labs, and energy agencies, providing technical and economic input to European, national, and local authorities on legislative, regulatory, and energy-efficiency matters (source: prospeo.io). EHPA’s mission focuses on overcoming market barriers and accelerating market development of heat pumps for heating, cooling, and hot water production by combining policy advocacy, market intelligence, and convening power across its extensive membership (source: globalabc.org). The association also co-organizes the EU-wide Heat Pump Accelerator Platform with VITO and Fraunhofer ISE to speed up heat pump roll-out in buildings, industry, and district heating (source: energy.ec.europa.eu).
Projects & Track Record
EHPA has a strong track record of producing authoritative sector data and analysis, including its 2025 market report which states that approximately 25.5 million heat pumps are installed across 19 European countries, representing around 12% of European households (source: ehpa.org). In 2024, sales of heat pumps declined by 21% across 14 European countries, with 2.2 million units sold compared to 2.8 million in 2023, bringing the total stock to around 26 million units (source: ehpa.org). The sector supports approximately 170,000 direct jobs in Europe, though recent market slowdowns have led to at least 4,000 job cuts and over 6,000 more affected (source: ehpa.org). EHPA also organizes an annual conference and the Heat Pump City of the Year awards, further cementing its role as a key convener and promoter of the heat pump sector (source: globalabc.org).
Recent Developments
In January 2025, EHPA became closely involved with the European Commission’s Heat Pump Accelerator Platform, a dynamic initiative aimed at accelerating heat pump deployment across Europe (source: energy.ec.europa.eu). EHPA’s recent market commentary linked the 2024 sales decline to changes in support schemes, economic weakness, and low subsidized gas prices (source: ehpa.org). Additionally, EHPA has contributed to sector messaging highlighting that a rapid heat pump rollout aligned with REPowerEU targets could create 3 million net additional jobs in the EU by 2030 and enable installation of 60 million heat pumps, based on modeling by Cambridge Econometrics and an EHPA/European Climate Foundation study (source: stiebel-eltron.com).
Working There
EHPA offers career opportunities primarily in policy, project management, communications, and sector analysis roles, with positions based in Brussels, Belgium (source: rejobs.org). A recent vacancy for an EU Projects Officer highlighted a permanent contract, competitive salary aligned to an internal matrix, holiday pay, and an end-of-year allowance including a 13th month, with flexible working arrangements allowing two days of homeworking per week (source: rejobs.org). EHPA’s team culture is described as energetic, committed, and fun, united by a shared mission to advance sustainable heating and cooling solutions across Europe (source: ehpa.org).
