What the data
shows

Rising heat pump adoption

Poland recorded over 200,000 heat pump installations in 2023 alone, driven partly by EU subsidy frameworks and gas price volatility. The numbers continued climbing through 2024.

Underfloor heating compatibility

Hydronic underfloor systems operate efficiently at 35–45°C flow temperatures — a range heat pumps reach without difficulty, unlike traditional radiators requiring 70°C+.

Insulation as a prerequisite

A building with U-values above 0.20 W/m²K for walls loses heat faster than any pump can compensate economically. Insulation first, then equipment — that order matters.
