Hello,
I planned to install a heat pump and remove the oil heating system, so I would be eligible for the subsidy.
The application has already been submitted but is not fully approved yet, as the heat pump has not been installed.
Now I am considering keeping the oil heating system to use during the cold winters and use the heat pump for everything else — basically creating a “hybrid” system with renewable energy. There is a subsidy for that as well, right?
Can I still change the application to do this? Or is it too late? Would I have to submit a completely new application? In such an application, is it allowed to continue using the old boiler, or does it have to be replaced as well?
Thank you very much.

Do you know what costs you’re talking about? About €200 (approximately $215) per year. That can cover a lot of electricity for the heat pump. And without the oil heating system, you also gain more space in the basement—both the tank and the heater take up a lot of room. Disposal is also heavily subsidized.
==> so get rid of the old junk
P.S. By the way, to qualify for the subsidy, you are no longer allowed to use the old oil heating system. It can only remain as decoration at most.

Replacing an oil heating system is definitely something that should be done. But certainly not during the worst chip and material shortage we have ever experienced, at absolutely exorbitant prices from manufacturers and installers...

It is beyond question that an oil heating system should be replaced at some point. But certainly not during the worst chip and material shortage we have ever experienced, with manufacturers and installers charging astronomical prices...The OP’s question was not whether he should act now, but whether he should continue running the oil heating system in the meantime. And that is what I answered. I also pointed out that he won’t receive any subsidies if he keeps the oil system operational.Otherwise, I agree with you that now is definitely not the ideal time. Although construction prices overall have actually dropped significantly recently.

There will still be subsidies next year. Otherwise, no one could afford this whole process. As I always say, the typical homeowner does not have a net income of 10,000 EUR per month; this forum distorts things because many users here have financial means.
And as I already mentioned... anyone who places an order today won’t get their heating system installed during the next heating season anyway. That’s impossible; lead times were already 35–40 weeks at the beginning of the year.
