In Deutschland

Gas: 8-12 Cent/kWh. Strom: 30-35 Cent. Waermepumpe: COP 3-4 = effektiv 8-10 Cent/kWh. Gasheizung wird durch GEG (Gebaeudeenergiegesetz) ab 2024 eingeschraenkt. Waermepumpe + PV: die Zukunft des Heizens in Deutschland.

Foerderung

BAFA/KfW: 30-70% Foerderung fuer Waermepumpe. Eine 15.000 € Waermepumpe kann mit 5.000-10.000 € Foerderung auf 5.000-10.000 € Eigenanteil sinken.

⚡ CalcWolf Insight

The Inflation Reduction Act offers $2,000 tax credits for heat pump installation and up to $8,000 in rebates for low-income households — potentially making the switch cost-neutral in year one.
