The war in Ukraine is driving up commodity prices. As a result, more and more homeowners in Bavaria want to replace their oil and gas heating systems. It’s good for installers’ business, but it’s not quite that simple.
Panic, says Wolfgang Schwarz, is never a good guide. But panic, he also says, is what he’s experiencing here and there these days. In times of war and epidemics, of course, nothing completely unusual. However, you have to know that Wolfgang Schwarz is the managing director of the Bavarian Association for Sanitary, Heating and Air-Conditioning Technology (SHK). The panic he feels has nothing to do directly with the war, with the attacks on civilians, with the fear of bombs. But with a consequence, with the concern about the heat for the apartment or the house.
