EHPA invites firms to celebrate Heat Pump Day

BELGIUM: The European Heat Pump Association (EHPA) is inviting companies across Europe to embrace and become involved with Heat Pump Day on 21 October.

Heat Pump Day is designed to show how heat pumps support skilled jobs, industrial strength, innovation and a more resilient European energy system. All organisations are invited to join in – by organising an event or simply posting on social media. 

Launched by the European Heat Pump Association in 2024 to raise awareness about heat pump technology, Heat Pump Day brings together activities organised by companies, associations, public authorities, researchers, installers, energy agencies and other supporters across Europe. 

This year’s campaign will shine a light on the people and value chains behind the technology – from research and component production to manufacturing, installation, maintenance and training. It will also highlight how heat pumps can strengthen Europe’s clean tech leadership, reduce dependence on imported fossil fuels and support competitive European industry. 

Last year, 48 partners supported Heat Pump Day and more than 100 activities were featured across Europe. In 2026, EHPA aims to build an even broader and more active partnership, linking organisations across the heat pump value chain and beyond. 

The EHPA is inviting new partners to join Heat Pump Day 2026, and features all partner logos on the Heat Pump Day website. Interested parties should visit the Heat Pump Day website.
