Heat pumps in the Preischeck: This is how you avoid expensive wrong decisions!
Heat pumps in the Preischeck: This is how you avoid expensive wrong decisions!
In the constant change in heating technology, heat pumps are increasingly in the focus of consumers. A current study by the Rhineland-Palatinate Consumer Center creates clarity about the prices and conditions, which are relevant for the purchase of water heat pumps for single-family houses. From October to May, around 160 offers were examined, which cover a wide range of services from 4 kW to 18 kW. The total costs of the water heat pumps were between around 20,000 and 63,000 euros, with an average of approx. 36,300 euros. As mainpost.de reports, the prices vary strongly, depending on the material, performance and the individual conditions on site.
It is interesting that many offers only specify a flat -rate total price without detailed breakdown. Only 26 percent of the offers included all important information, and almost 50 percent lacked information on the foundation costs of the outdoor unit. In about a third of the offers, the costs for electrical installation were missing, which can play a role in the decision -making process.The cost question and funding opportunities
Although the acquisition costs of a heat pump are higher than that of gas heating, the current funding of up to 40 percent allows the price difference. The [Consumer Center] (https://www. consumer center-rlp.de/energie/heizen-und-warmwasser/gasheiz-oderme-odermePumpe-89237) points out that the funding will be made even more attractive from next year. These adjustments depend on the age of the existing system and household income. In the long term, the cost advantage of the heat pump is shown during operation, which can be felt after 10 to 15 years.
While the gas heating continues to bother risks despite its cheaper acquisition costs, for example due to rising CO2 prices and network charges, the consumer center sees the heat pump at the advantage. From 2029, natural gas heaters are obliged to introduce minimum quotas for biogas or hydrogen, which will further increase heating costs.
what you should pay attention to
If you are thinking about buying a heat pump, you should definitely pay attention to the experience and reference systems of the installer, because the technology is sensitive to planning and execution errors. Small measures, such as larger radiators, can often be enough to guarantee efficient operation.
For households with high natural gas consumption of over 150 kWh/m²/year, savings measures are recommended, regardless of the heating system used. The investigation clearly shows that independent consultations are important in order to avoid wrong decisions in the selection of heating technology. After all, it is important to find out well to do good business and save costs in the long term.
