As temperatures gradually drop, Europe is about to enter a long winter. However, as natural gas shortages continue to intensify, prices soar, electricity bills continue to rise, and heating costs are rising. How to spend this winter? It has become a lingering worry for many Europeans.

The conflict between Hamas and Israel has reportedly affected energy markets around the world. Since the conflict broke out on October 7, European natural gas prices have risen by a cumulative 44.6%. In the TTF Dutch market, prices are as high as 55.3 euros per megawatt hour (MWh), and energy prices continue to rise. Because natural gas is key to the electricity mix, the increase in natural gas prices has also caused electricity prices to rise to their highest level since March, with prices increasing by 42.3%.

In addition to geopolitical tensions that have led to the suspension of production at the Tamar gas field off the coast of Israel, a rupture of a Finland-Estonia natural gas pipeline may not resume operations until early 2024, which will undoubtedly make the current energy situation worse. To this end, the International Energy Agency has issued a warning that natural gas and electricity prices are expected to continue to face rising risks in the coming months. “The risk of price fluctuations, especially during the cold winter months, is worrying. European gas storage facilities enter the winter heating season at 96% of capacity. But this does not guarantee price stability throughout the season, especially in the event of unusually cold weather Down."
With current electricity bills soaring and natural gas flow limited, more European families are beginning to seek more energy-saving, efficient, clean and environmentally friendly heating methods, and air-source heat pumps are one of them.

It is understood that air source heat pumps, as a renewable energy utilization device, are the most effective way of electric heating. They have the advantages of safety, efficiency, energy saving and environmental protection, wide application range, excellent user experience, and low operating costs. They are not subject to geographical restrictions. It is widely used in residential, commercial, industrial and agricultural fields to provide services such as heating, cooling and hot water. Compared with traditional gas heating, the heating cost of air source heat pumps in winter is only one-third of that of traditional gas heating. It can also be used for cooling in summer, and one machine can be used for multiple purposes, making it a popular choice for more and more European residents. Currently, against the background of global energy transformation and geopolitical tensions, countries are actively deploying the heat pump industry, launching support policies, and setting heat pump deployment targets to promote the rapid development of the heat pump industry.

China is the world's largest consumer of heat pumps and the largest exporter of heat pumps in the world. According to data from the China Household Electrical Appliances Association, China is currently the main supplier of air-source heat pumps in Europe, accounting for 60% of the market. Tongyi Air Energy, as a Chinese national brand focusing on air energy heat pump technology research and development and product manufacturing, has begun to expand into overseas markets as early as 2006. After 24 years of intensive cultivation, Tongyi Heat Pump has developed 18 series of products including household machines, commercial machines, floor heating and air conditioners, which fully meet the needs of domestic hot water, commercial hot water, swimming pool constant temperature dehumidification, floor heating, wastewater waste heat recovery, etc. Different needs.
