Diffusion of renewable heating technologies in households. Experiences from the Norwegian Household Subsidy Programme

Energy Policy, 2012, vol. 48, issue C, 148-158

Abstract: A sample of 896 Norwegian households participating in a subsidy programme was surveyed in order to evaluate the success of the programme. The programme subsidised investments in new heating technologies, including heat pumps and pellet stoves. The success of the programme was measured by the degree of overall satisfaction with the investment by the sampled households. Theories on diffusion of innovations and planned behaviour motivate the empirical modelling of the investment satisfaction.
