Why choose a European heat pump manufacturer?

Although many heat pumps are labelled as ‘European’, they are actually designed by European companies but manufactured elsewhere, especially in Asia or Eastern Europe, to reduce costs. This entails significant risks and limitations for the customer:

Regulations and quality

European manufacturers such as Efitherma operate under the regulatory framework of the European Union, which entails stringent standards in terms of safety, energy efficiency, durability and sustainability to ensure that products meet all requirements for subsidies, energy certifications and efficiency programmes.

CE Marking

It guarantees that the equipment has been designed and manufactured in accordance with the safety, health, environmental and energy efficiency regulations required by the EU, that it has passed the necessary conformity assessment tests and procedures, and that it is suitable for marketing and commissioning in Europe.

More sustainable manufacturing

Reducing the carbon footprint by shortening logistics journeys, avoiding intercontinental transport, and ensuring cleaner production processes. In addition, the origin of each component can be traced.

Efficient technical service

Manufacturing in Europe means having the technical team and development department closer at hand. If incidents or adjustments arise, the response is quick and effective. There are no language, time or logistical barriers.

Support for European industry

By choosing a European manufacturer, you are supporting a fairer economy. Efitherma generates local employment, collaborates with national suppliers and is committed to a sustainable growth model that strengthens the European industrial value chain.

What is CE marking?

The CE marking is an official mark that certifies that a product marketed in the European Economic Area (EEA) complies with the legal requirements for safety, health, the environment and consumer protection established by the European Union. Its acronym refers to ‘Conformité Européenne’ (European Conformity).

What does the CE marking mean for the end customer?

When a product bears the CE marking, it offers the guarantee that it has passed the assessment procedures established by the applicable European regulations and can be legally circulated, marketed and installed in any EU country. This marking is not a seal of quality in itself, but an indicator that the manufacturer has verified and declared that its product complies with all relevant European directives.

Why is CE marking important for heat pumps?

In the case of heat pumps and other equipment related to air conditioning, DHW and energy efficiency, CE marking is mandatory in order to market these products within the European market. It ensures that the equipment:

What is the manufacturer's responsibility in the EU?

The European manufacturer (such as Efitherma) is responsible for:

Efitherma: manufacturer of heat pumps in Europe

Among European heat pump manufacturers, Efitherma stands out as one of the few companies that combines proprietary technology, local manufacturing, and a total focus on the customer. Based in Lucena (Córdoba), and with more than a decade of experience in the air conditioning and renewable energy sector, Efitherma does not act as an intermediary or depend on third countries to produce its equipment: it designs, develops and manufactures entirely in Spain, under demanding European standards.

Its commitment to quality and energy efficiency translates into comprehensive solutions tailored to the climatic and regulatory context of Europe, designed to meet the real needs of homes, industries, and hotels.

Highlights from their catalogue include:

  • High-efficiency heat pumps: Heating, cooling and domestic hot water (DHW) in a single system.

  • Hybrid systems that maximise energy savings.

  • Remote control with an exclusive app that allows you to monitor and optimise consumption from any device.

What is the difference between European manufacturing and external manufacturing?

While many brands outsource production to factories in Southeast Asia, companies such as Efitherma invest in local technical expertise and in-house manufacturing to ensure maximum efficiency in European facilities.

Current overview of heat pumps in Europe

  • In 2023, 3.02 million heat pumps were sold in 21 European countries, accumulating a total stock of approximately 24 million units.
  • The 24 million pumps installed in Europe prevent emissions equivalent to removing 7.5 million cars from the roads.
  • The EU’s REPowerEU plan aims to reach 60 million heat pumps installed by 2030 (up from the current ~24 million).
