Maybe everyone should just point out that it's now the preferred heating method in all of the Nordics. If heat pumps work there reliably, it clearly is a proven technology.
As a disclaimer, if you have an air source heat pump in a very cold environment you do need a backup heating method too, like direct electric or just a fireplace.
- Symbiote 3y agoI don't know about official policy, but I think in Denmark district heating (fjernvarme) is still the preferred option where it's available. Copenhagen's system is enormous, covering most of the city. It's powered by 69% biomass (wood and straw), 16% renewable waste, 8% non-renewable waste, 4% oil, 3% gas, 0% coal.
