For decades, a persistent myth has limited the adoption of sustainable heating technology. Many facility managers and homeowners believe heat pumps are only suitable for modern, highly insulated spaces with low-temperature underfloor heating. They assume that if you need water hotter than 55°C or live in a freezing climate, you must stick with fossil fuels. This outdated view ignores significant technological advancements.

The financial risk of a "simple DIY fix" gone wrong is high.
