Heat pump guide
Why heat pumps?
Independent of oil and gas
The main argument against rising energy costs in the future.
You save heating costs
As shown in the cost comparison below, the heat pump is worthwhile in around 75% of existing buildings. Yes, and also with a radiator.
You reduce CO2 emissions
With a heat pump you are actively doing something against climate change.
The value of your property increases
Investing in a heat pump improves the overall efficiency and value of your home.
Heat pump and PV matched
WP and PV are a dream couple. With the smart use of your own electricity, you can operate household electricity, e-mobility and HP heating very cheaply.
Can also cool
The heat pump can also cool, something that no oil or gas heater can do. So you can e.g. B. Cool down your house by approx. 4-5 Kelvin in summer.
Cost comparison
Gas heat pump
Are you a single-family home owner and wondering whether you should quickly have a gas boiler installed? First take a look at this cost comparison and discover that it is almost always worth installing a heat pump, not only because of the CO2 savings and because it benefits the climate, but also for economic reasons.
Explanations
Efficiency
A HP is 3-5 times more efficient than a gas boiler. It works with electricity and generates approx. 3-5 kWh of heat from one kWh of electricity. Therefore, the annual consumption of 20,000 kWh in this case (with renovation and a high-quality A WP for W55) is divided by 3.5.
Invest after funding
According to the new heating law from January 1st, 2024, the maximum investment amount that can be funded is unfortunately only €30,000 instead of €60,000. i.e. 50% (basic funding 30% + speed bonus of 20%) of €30,000 is €15,000 which I have deducted here.
Energy prices
Of course, nobody knows how energy prices will develop in the future. In many places there are so-called WP tariffs and also nationwide providers that offer a WP tariff that is far below the fixed market price. The company 1Komma5 z. B. offers an electricity price guarantee between 15 and 23 cents/kWh depending on the region. This reduces the operating costs for the WP between 40 and 51%. Here the link.
CO2 pricing
The fine will increase drastically over the next few years and the federal government wants to get us citizens away from fossil fuels. Over the next 20 years, this results in an impressive fine of over €4-5,000.
