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.
Czechia’s 2026 heat-pump listing landscape is still weighted toward legacy refrigerants: only 3.27% of models in the current snapshot use R290, while 84.47% are still R32. That gap is the main signal in the Market Index slice built from EPREL Public API listings, and it keeps Czechia in the “slow transition” bucket rather than the low-GWP crossover group.
The scale of the catalog reinforces the point. Across the full index there are 60,989 listed models, including 537 R290 entries and 13,935 R32 entries (market_index_snapshot). Put differently, R290 is visible but still a small cohort, while R32 remains the default refrigerant in the broader market structure. The article on the canonical dataset breaks down how that mix looks for Czech buyers and why it matters for product planning: https://househeating-pulse.com/articles/czechia-2026-heat-pump-market-index-r290-r32
A useful nuance for developers and analysts: the corpus does not expose a Czechia-only refrigerant table, so the post avoids pretending to derive a country-specific absolute count that isn’t in the source. What it can do is anchor the Czechia reading against the wider evidence base. The market is dominated by air-water systems at 30,452 models or 49.93%, with air-air at 21,065 and heat-pump water heaters at 9,228. That matters because hydronic systems are where refrigerant choice becomes especially relevant in buyer evaluation and installer stock decisions.
The supplier side is also concentrated: Daikin Europe N.V. leads with 14,668 models and 24.05% share, followed by Mitsubishi Electric Europe B.V. at 5,575 and 9.14%. The full article traces how that concentration interacts with refrigerant adoption, Czech subsidy ceilings, and the regional energy-price context from Eurostat and NASA POWER source tables.
