ᐅ Current Installation Costs of a Heat Pump

Hello,

we are planning to replace our oil heating system with a heat pump as soon as possible (with subsidies), and I would appreciate your help in understanding what the current costs might be and what would be considered overpriced. We do not have a quote yet but are in contact with a reputable company that also includes an energy consultant for the subsidies.

Our house has a living area of 130 square meters (1400 square feet) spread over 3 floors, plus a basement that is at street level on the downhill side due to the slope. The house was built in 1930 but underwent extensive renovation in 2008, including insulation of the facade and roof, new windows, replacement of water pipes and electrical wiring, and installation of solar panels for hot water. We have also installed a small balcony solar system. Due to large dormers, there is limited roof space suitable for photovoltaic panels.

Unfortunately, there is no underfloor heating, but radiators, some of which are quite old and probably should be replaced. There are a total of 12 radiators.

Our current annual oil consumption is about 1500-1600 liters (400-420 gallons).

I’m not sure what other information is needed to get a rough idea, so I’ll leave it at that and wait for any questions.

I hope you can give me a rough estimate so I can better evaluate offers.

Thanks in advance!

Price-wise, between €15,000 and €20,000 before subsidies, if it’s a simple installation and you use just a monoblock unit.
Additionally, all radiators would need to be replaced with type 33.
Hot water would also be an extra cost.

Solar integration is quite complex. Usually, you need a special heating circuit in the hot water tank.

I just renovated and it cost me 33,000 euros before KfW funding.

Quotes from reputable companies were over 50,000 euros.

How old is the oil heating system?

The oil heating system is from 1998. So it’s quite old already.

Offers from reputable companies were over 50k.

Ah, ok, thanks so far. Would it perhaps make more sense to remove the solar thermal panels from the roof and replace them with photovoltaic panels? It would only be 2 panels in terms of area, maybe 3 if I’m lucky, and it’s basically the only really good spot on our roof.

Solar thermal systems are more efficient than photovoltaic panels. I would keep that. The two photovoltaic modules only produce about 800 watts.
