Heat Pump

If you buy a heat pump, you will save on heating costs compared to oil and gas. Additionally, you can also save on the electricity costs required to operate the heat pump. If you have a photovoltaic system, a large portion of the electricity will be self-generated.

Investment Costs

Investing in a new heat pump system is higher compared to heating systems using fossil fuels, but it pays off in the long run, as energy prices for fossil fuels are expected to rise, especially due to CO₂ pricing. Additionally, attractive government subsidies help to reduce the investment costs.

Operating Costs

The maintenance of heat pumps is generally cheaper, and with a purely heat pump system, you won’t need a chimney sweep.

Possible Additional Costs

Depending on the type of heat pump you purchase, additional costs may arise, such as drilling for ground/water or water/water heat pumps.

For almost all associated costs, there are attractive government subsidies.

Secure Attractive Government Subsidies

30% basic subsidy for all heat pumps
20% climate speed bonus for owner-occupied residential units: For the replacement of functional heating systems such as oil, coal, gas floor heating, or night storage heaters of any age, or for the replacement of functional gas or biomass heating systems that are older than 20 years. The 20% bonus is valid until 2028 and will decrease annually after that.
30% income bonus for owner-occupiers with a taxable household annual income of up to €40,000.
5% efficiency bonus for heat pumps if water, soil, or wastewater is used as a heat source, or if a natural refrigerant is used. The efficiency bonus is limited to a maximum of 5%.

You can receive up to 70% in subsidies when switching to a new heat pump.
All listed bonuses can be combined with the basic subsidy—cumulative up to 70% of the maximum eligible investment costs. The subsidy rate in % applies to the maximum eligible expenses of €30,000 for the first unit.
