First an expensive, new heating system and now renovate the house? Don’t panic, experts say. The effort is often manageable. What you should do, what it brings – and what it all costs.
Even a heat pump suddenly seems affordable: Homeowners can get up to 70 percent subsidy on the acquisition costs from next year. At least if you install a heating system in your building that runs on renewable energies. This is provided for in the draft of the Building Energy Act (GEG), which the traffic light coalition has now agreed on. The law is expected to be passed in the Bundestag next Thursday. So if you want to replace your old heating system, the state will give you a lot more help from 2024 than before.
