Ready to Refresh Your Home and Heating System? Here's Why Now's the Best Time!
Warning bells ringing for fossil fuel users, yours truly!
Let's face it, a home renovation is a big investment. But, if you're planning a home makeover or upgrading your heating system in Rhein-Kreis Neuss this year, here's a compelling reason to get cracking ASAP - subsidies for this are still up for grabs! And trust us, these subsidies can disappear faster than a slice of grandma's apple pie!
These aren't just any subsidies, folks. You've got a basic grant (30%) for your heating upgrade, and if you're a self-occupying homeowner, you're eligible for an income-dependent bonus (30%) and a climate speed bonus (20%). If the stars align for you, up to 70% of € 30,000 in costs can be covered as a grant!
But hey, don't be disheartened if you qualify for only a portion of the funding. Check out programs from federal states, cities, and municipalities. Often, federal funding can be combined with regional funding. To ensure you don't miss out on any relevant funding, co2online has compiled more than a thousand programs in the Funding Check. So, head on over to www.co2online.de/fundingcheck to find suitable funding and valuable tips.
Now, you might be thinking, "Alright mate, what's the kicker?" Well, the Building Energy Act (GEG) comes into effect on January 1st. Initially, this affects new residential buildings in new housing areas, which are set to be equipped with renewable heating systems. But here's the twist - if your local heat plan is in place, this also applies to existing residential buildings: if your old heating system based on fossil fuels can no longer be repaired, a heating system based on renewable energies must be installed. Guess what? This will be subsidized!
If that doesn't convince you, here's a fun fact - heating with gas and oil is about to become more expensive in 2024. The CO2 price for fossil fuels will increase from the current € 30 to € 45 per tonne. And it's not just a one-time thing - it'll climb to € 55 per tonne in 2025, and keep rising in the following years. Translation? Gas-heated single-family homes will set you back an extra € 195 in 2024, and oil heating will cost an extra € 255.
But fear not, those who embrace the change! Heating with a heat pump means you dodge the CO2 price. Plus, clever minds have calculated that homeowners who switch from gas heating next year will save approximately € 15,000 in the next 20 years. For oil heating, it's € 20,000. So, why keep throwing money down the drain on costly fossil fuels?
