Short read. This is a ~300-word brief based on the full analysis at Househeating Pulse. For the interactive charts, brand-level data, and source tables, open the original.
Sweden’s heat-pump market looks less like a transition zone and more like a fully electrified catalog: the country context shows 4,242.38 heating degree days, €0.2711/kWh household electricity, and only 14 gCO₂/kWh grid intensity, which makes the EPREL inventory read like a demand response dataset rather than a niche appliance list.
The live EPREL snapshot behind Househeating Pulse contains 60,989 listed models from 777 manufacturers, with a market-average SCOP of 4.55 and 80.73% of listings at A+ or better. The concentration is high at the top: Daikin Europe N.V. alone holds 14,668 listings, or 24.05% of the catalog, while the top three brands together control 41.73%. That matters if you’re trying to explain price dispersion from registry data, because the shortlist is already shaped by supplier concentration before any pricing field enters the picture.
Type mix reinforces that pattern. Air-water units make up 30,452 models, or 49.93% of the sample, and air-air adds another 21,065. The efficiency ceiling is in water-water systems, which average 6.15 SCOP, but they are numerically tiny at 31 models. By contrast, mainstream air-water units average 4.54 SCOP and 11.83 kW, making them the practical center of gravity for Sweden-facing buyers.
Refrigerant data is just as skewed. R32 appears on 13,935 listings, or 84.77% of declared refrigerant-coded models, while R410A accounts for 1,896 and low-GWP R290 only 537. That means the catalog is still overwhelmingly HFC-based, even with EU Regulation 2024/573 tightening the phase-out timeline.
