New heating rules from 2024: Financial expert explains how homeowners can meet the new requirements and save costs.

According to a report by www.swr.de,

From 2024, new rules for the construction and repair of heating systems will come into force. According to Hans Weinreuter, energy expert at the consumer advice center, owners will probably have to show a share of 65 percent renewable energy when a new heating system is installed. This regulation comes from the amended Building Energy Act. The new requirements could have a significant impact on homeowners and the heating market.

Various options are available for new heating systems, including heat pumps, pellet heating systems and district or local heating. These alternatives entail different costs and potential funding. The decision for the right heating system depends on various factors such as subsidies, operating costs and structural conditions.

Furthermore, when converting the heating system, aspects such as the insulation of the pipes in the cold basement and the hydraulic balancing must also be taken into account. Weinreuter also explains that long-term planning is important, especially with regard to possible future renovations to the home.

Overall, it is important that homeowners seek information and advice in a timely manner. The Rhineland-Palatinate consumer advice center offers personal energy advice to support you with questions and decisions about replacing your heating system. This advice is free and offers valuable guidance in the complex decision-making process.
