Recent emphasis on energy independence and emission control in Europe and around the world has resulted in increased focus on energy efficiency and renewable energy. As a result, the heating market in Europe is gradually changing, with growing government and public pressure at the forefront of this change. The focus has now shifted from traditional gas and oil heating boilers to more efficient and eco-friendly systems like solar thermal heating and heat pumps. This trend is expected to grow in the near future as more consumers make the switch to renewable heating, or complement their traditional systems with micro-renewables.
