Among the flagship measures of ecological planning, Emmanuel Macron announces that a million heat pumps will be manufactured each year in France, from 2027. Is this the solution to replacing gas?

7 million heat pumps in France, and how many tomorrow? The government wants to accelerate the pace, triple production on our soil, and make this heating method the symbol of ecological transition in the building sector. Bruno Cauquil, an IT specialist in Yvelines, decided to have a heat pump installed in his home, particularly to “get out of fossil fuels“. Before installation, you must have the insulation of your home checked.

Numerous grants

The installation costs 15,000 euros, but numerous subsidies exist. A wealthy household can receive 4,000 euros in aid, and a household with modest incomes, up to 10,000 euros. They could increase further in the coming months. Near Strasbourg (Bas-Rhin), Fabienne Stern spent nearly 14,000 euros to switch from fuel oil to a heat pump. After two years of use, said to do “more than 400 euros in savings per year“.
