Future of the heating law: uncertainty in households is growing

Oberösterreich, Österreich - The sudden end of the "out of oil and gas" grip has already met a lot of households in Austria. According to Martin Kloboucnik, Managing Director of Wolf Heiztechnik, low -income households continue to receive reimbursements for the heating exchange, but access to necessary means often remains unused. In addition, there is still considerable potential for promoting sustainable heating systems in Upper Austria, such as Kloboucnik in the Krone emphasized.

With the upcoming election campaign, the political debates swirl again for the building energy law (AG). CDU politician Jens Spahn indicated that parts of the opposite could be abolished after a possible election victory and the heating promotion could be discontinued. This uncertainty has led to the fact that many households hastily have requested funding for heat pumps in order to secure the advantages of funding from the possible end. Experts warn that without clear government support, the acquisition costs for sustainable heating systems such as heat pumps could become intolerable, while the operating costs of gas and oil heating will continue to increase, as in a report by utopia was explained.

The uncertainty increases

The debate about the future of building law not only raises questions, but also causes considerable uncertainty. If the opponent is actually reformed or abolished, far -reaching consequences could threaten the entire heating industry, warns. The current regulation stipulates that new heaters have to be operated with renewable energies by 2029. It could boost the use of gas and oil heating, which contradicts the EU's climate goals and thereby endangers planning security for the industry, said Helmut Bramann, chief managing director of the Central Association of Heating, Sanitary, Climate (ZVSHK).

summarized are households that want to rely on a new heating system in a tense situation. While the fear of the end of the funding is growing, the costs for fossil fuels are increasing, which makes the decision for sustainable alternatives urgently. Careful planning and timely applications for funding are crucial in this situation to minimize the financial burdens.
