Heat turn in Olpe: heating with the future - are you ready for the change?

In the district of Olpe, there is a decline in interest in climate -friendly heating techniques such as heat pumps. Energy consultant Dirk Mobers from the NRW consumer center urgently warns against being pushed further renovation projects. According to Lokalplus.nrw , the political framework, combined with increasing CO₂ costs, is an essential reason for the decreasing attractiveness of fossil heating systems. Mobers emphasizes that since the announcement of planned changes to the building energy network (AGE), the demand for heat pumps has dropped significantly.

These developments are closely related to the federal government's efforts to promote the heat transition in Germany. As part of the end, the novella of which comes into force on January 1, 2024, it is necessary for new heating that at least 65 percent of the heat comes from renewable energies. The aim is to end the dependence on fossil fuels by 2045. According to bundes- government.de , municipalities have to be planned by mid-2028, where climate-neutral heat networks are built up. In large cities there is a deadline until mid -2026.

funding opportunities and support

MObers points out that the scope of the federal government is limited by the European building directive. He also assumes that there will be no significant improvements in state funding. The CO₂ price for fossil fuels should increase to 45 euros per tonne from 2024, which further more expensive. From 2025 an increase is planned to 55 euros, and from 2027 an EU-wide emission trade system will be introduced.

As part of the end, however, there are also grants for the heating exchange. From August 27, 2024, companies and owners of rented single -family houses can apply for funding applications that cover a maximum of 35 percent of the investment costs. Basic funding of 30 percent is by default, while an efficiency bonus of 5 percent is available for particularly efficient heat pumps. For owners of single-family houses, a maximum of 70 percent funding applies, depending on taxable income, such as bmwsb.bund.de reported.

lectures and advice

To inform home owners about the new possibilities and techniques, Dirk Mobers offers a lecture entitled "New Heating - The Heat Pump and its Alternatives". The dates for this are:

• Online: Tuesday, May 20, from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m., in cooperation with the VHS district Olpe (registration online possible).
• Presence: Thursday, June 26, from 5:30 p.m. in the council hall of the town hall in Lennestadt (no registration required).

For individual consultations, such as telephone and video advice on heating modernization, free offers are available. The booking is made on the phone number 0 27 23/7 19 57 20. Purchase of the NRW energy wing can be possible against a share of 40 euros, to be achieved by Tel. 02 11/33 99 65 55.

With the upcoming implementation of the funding opportunities and the clear requirements of the opposite, it is becoming increasingly important for owners to deal with heating moderations and the corresponding subsidies at an early stage. Otherwise, you risk not being ready to be ready for the next heating season.
