Heat pump information: Efficient heating for the Rhein-Sieg district!

Heat pump information: Efficient heating for the Rhein-Sieg district!

On March 4, 2025, the NRW consumer center starts an extensive series of events to promote heat pumps that represent an environmentally friendly heating technology. From March 6 to 28, energy consultants such as Stephan Herpertz and Timo Bißwanger in the Rhein-Sieg district will be active to answer questions about the use of heat pumps. This initiative includes lectures, interviews and office hours that take place both online and in presence.

The events offer online lectures on central topics such as "Introduction to the heat pump" and "heating with the heat pump". Here are some of the most important dates:

• 6. March, 6 p.m.: Online lecture "Introduction to the heat pump"
• 10. March, 12 p.m.: Online consultation hours "Focus on heat pump"
• 12. March, 6 p.m.: Online lecture "Heating with the heat pump", in cooperation with the VHS Siebengebirge
• 17. March, 6 p.m.: Online lecture "Heat pump in the apartment building"
• 19. March, 5:30 p.m.: Online event "Earth heat pump: How did we do it?" In cooperation with the Lüdenscheid
energy consultation center
• 24. March, 5 p.m.: Online consultation hours "Focus on heat pump"
• 25. March, 6 p.m.: Online lecture "Heating cheap with air conditioning and air/air heat pump"
• 26. March, 6 p.m.: Lecture in the Meys factory in Hennef "Heat pumps in existing buildings"

economy and efficiency of energy advice

The effectiveness of the energy advice of the consumer advice center is evaluated by an evaluation, which reports of over 320,000 consultations in 2020 and 2021. A saving of at least 9,545 gigawatt hours (GWH) Endergie was realized. These measures led to the avoidance of 3.5 million tons of CO2 emissions, which was also confirmed by the Federal Office of Economics and Export Control (BAFA).

An essential aspect of this advice is independence from provider interests, which is very much appreciated by those seeking advice. According to a survey, 80% of those surveyed stated that their investments in energy efficiency measures are primarily used to save long -term energy costs. In addition, 65% to protect the environment and climate.

sustainability through CO2 heat pumps

A particularly environmentally friendly aspect of heat pump technology is CO2 heat pumps that use carbon dioxide as refrigerants. This technology significantly lowers CO2 emissions and enables a combination with renewable energies. CO2 heat pumps are characterized by a low greenhouse potential and higher operating temperatures than many other refrigerants.

In addition, they are not flammable, not toxic and versatile, which makes it an ideal solution for heating and cooling systems. The increase in efficiency in connection with renewable energy sources such as solar thermal and photovoltaics leads to significant reduction in CO2 emissions compared to conventional gas heating. These technology progress is supported by state support programs and could be promoted even further in the future.
