Heat pump sales in France, Germany and Poland increased by 25% in Q1 2026 compared to Q1 2025.

Omissions

• The 25% figure is an average of three countries with significant variation: Germany grew 34%, France 21%, and Poland 20%. The MEP presented the average as if it applied uniformly across all three countries.
• The broader European market (11 countries tracked by EHPA) grew only 17% in Q1 2026, meaning the three-country average of 25% is not representative of Europe as a whole.
• The claim omits the word 'on average', which is how EHPA qualified the figure in its press release.
