Heating revolution: New subsidies for heat pumps from 2025!
In the current debate about heating modernization in Germany, the focus is on the heat pump as a future-oriented technology. More and more owners in decentralized areas are interested in installing air and ground source heat pumps. According to the Bietigheimer Zeitung, residents of such regions have the opportunity to apply for state funding online, which makes the application process much easier: processing only takes a few minutes and offers the chance to receive heating funding of up to 70 percent. However, rented buildings are currently only supported at around 30 percent, although experts such as Gruseck see potential for higher funding.
The deadline for switching to environmentally friendly heating systems is three years. Another aspect of the discussion is the general price development of heat pumps. Gruseck predicts that costs will bottom out in the next two to three years, while an increase is expected from 2030. This could pose challenges for tradespeople as demand for installations will increase significantly during this time.
Political framework conditions
Another important factor is the political framework set out in the new coalition agreement. The federal government is planning to abolish the controversial “Heating Act”. Instead of a complete withdrawal, however, the aim is to reform the Building Energy Act (GEG), which promises more flexibility and openness to technology. CO2 avoidance should serve as a central control variable, which takes into account the mathematics of the climate goals.
The continuation of heating and renovation subsidies was assured, even if specific budgets and funding rates are currently still open. Measures to ease the burden on consumers with regard to electricity prices are also on the agenda: a reduction of at least 5 cents per kilowatt hour is being sought, primarily through reduced electricity taxes and network fees.
Looking into the future
Gruseck emphasizes the need for planning security for the industry so that sustainable investments and innovative technologies can be successfully implemented. The energy transition is also supported by the EU's approach to energy policy, which remains in place during the current energy crisis. These measures suggest that a sustainable transformation of the heating market is necessary and possible for both private and commercial owners in the coming years.
For everyone who is thinking about converting their heating, there is now a good opportunity to take advantage of the funding mentioned and set the course for a sustainable energy future. Numerous individual options and programs are available that can help with decision-making.
