Hello,
I have received a quote for heating system replacement (house, 130 sqm (1400 sq ft), built in 1992, oil central heating). The offer is for a pellet heating system (around €22,000) with a solar thermal system (then around €35,000). Since we want to buy a larger house, I wanted to know roughly what costs to expect for a building from around 1950, 220 sqm (2,370 sq ft), also with oil heating. Would €50,000 be sufficient, or would it likely be a six-figure amount? I just need a general estimate.
Thank you.

Okay, then a more specific question:
What is the approximate cost for installing radiators and piping? The house is about 140 sqm (1507 sq ft). The piping installation would cover the basement, first floor, and attic. Is 20,000 € (only for the pipes and radiators) plus a new heating system a realistic estimate?

for both properties, if they are under consideration, the first step should be an inspection by a qualified energy consultant. This independent and neutral advice will give you an initial overview of which renovation measures make sense and which heating concepts are suitable. You should never purchase a house without expert advice, so bring an expert for a purchase consultation. The costs are minimal compared to the purchase price, typically in the per mille range.
The concept is agreed upon by the energy consultant based on the existing building, user behavior, location, and, very importantly, your budget.
If I am not forced to install a new heating system immediately— for example, because the old one has failed or must be replaced due to reaching its 30-year limit—the fundamental approach to optimizing energy costs is: 1. avoid consumption, 2. generate consumption efficiently.
In your case, given the appropriate budget, measures to improve insulation should be prioritized, followed by heat generation systems. The reasoning is that reducing consumption can open up entirely new energy generation concepts (gas heat pumps or other heat pump systems, as well as hybrid concepts combining solar thermal use), or the budget for the heating system might be limited to a point where expensive solutions like pellet boilers or heat pumps are no longer feasible and a cost-effective gas condensing boiler in the range of 6,000–7,000 euros is the better option.
