    Why buyers are acquiring heat pump businesses

    Electrification policy tailwind

    Government incentives and net-zero targets in the UK and US are pulling residential and commercial heating spend toward heat pumps.

    Accreditation as a moat

    Service tail on installed base

    Annual servicing requirements create a recurring revenue tail on every installed unit.
