1. Introduction: Why Boilers Still Matter in the HVAC Market
Although heat pumps have been growing rapidly, boilers remain a key part of HVAC systems across North America and Europe. According to Statista, over 9 million households in the U.S. still rely on boiler-based heating in 2023, particularly in colder regions. For B2B buyers—such as OEMs, distributors, and property developers—this means continued demand for smart thermostats optimized for boiler applications.
