Basti070824 Jul 2012 10:29Hello,
I would like to replace my heating system before autumn. Up to now, we have an old oil boiler. However, I would prefer to move away from oil. An important point for us is that our budget is unfortunately not very high. What solution would you recommend? Is switching to natural gas actually expensive? The connection is available here, so that could be an alternative to oil, right?
Thank you for your help!
Yours, Basti

Hello Basti,
There are different ways to approach this topic. You can either aim for a comprehensive overview of the current condition and the options to make the property energy-efficient in the long term, or focus solely on the heating system.
For a “renovation master plan,” you should consult an energy advisor, whose involvement is also subsidized by the government. Depending on the property, this usually costs around 1000 € (about 1000 USD), with approximately 300 € (about 300 USD) reimbursed by the government.
If you are only considering the heating system, I would recommend contacting two HVAC specialists in your area as well as your current service provider. They should advise you on gas condensing boilers.
In addition to the investment costs for the heating system itself (rough estimate 5,000 € (about 5,000 USD), depending on property size, installation location, use of solar energy, with or without heating support, etc.—so there is clearly a need for advice), there may also be connection costs. These can be around 1,500 – 2,500 € (about 1,500 – 2,500 USD). Sometimes energy suppliers offer incentive programs that waive or reduce these costs to a few hundred euros. You can get information about this from the HVAC contractor or directly from the local energy supplier.
Best regards
