Domexpo 2020 barometer: what are the most used heating energies in new homes?

Conducted in partnership with Caron Marketing, will the Domexpo 2020 Barometer confirm the predominance of the CAP - Heat pump, observed last year? What other heating methods are popular with new owners? What are the emerging trends? Etc. Results with Domexpo ...

Having a house built raises many questions, even before the project actually materializes: how to find a plot? How to finance at the best rate? What assistance is an individual entitled to? Etc. Visiting a Domexpo village, with or without an appointment, and meeting one or more professionals, will thus provide the first answers.

Then, once his builder has been selected, he will be the one who will help, advise and guide individuals throughout the project: choice of joinery, type of roof, construction materials, type of heating energy ...

It is on this last point that Domexpo has chosen to devote its latest New Home Barometer, conducted in partnership with Caron Marketing, which emphasizes in particular that:

• The PAC - Heat pump, whether used alone or in addition to another type of energy, remains the most popular heating method in France and Île-de-France, with 66% and 64% of new single-family homes respectively. are equipped. An increasing share compared to the last Domexpo Barometer where the CAP represented 55% on the national territory and 51% for the Ile-de-France region.
• The gas retains its second position, both in France and in Île-de-France.

“Installed in almost 2 out of 3 new houses, the heat pump is predominant in the new house market, but it is now hybrid solutions that are developing the most. This solution has many advantages: it is in particular less expensive in immediate consumption, more respectful of the environment and requires only one electricity subscription ...

As for last year, gas comes second among the most used heating energies. With the entry into force of RE2020, 100% gas could disappear from new housing.

If this provision were confirmed, it would have a significant impact on the budgets of the most modest households, because in the climatic regions of northern France, the gas solution remains more attractive to use than electricity.

Domexpo will therefore remain vigilant in the coming weeks to be able to provide the best possible advice to all construction candidates. "
