Anyone who throws away their old heating system can hope for generous subsidies – up to 75 and even 100 percent cost reimbursement. But there are “hurdles” – especially for households with little financial flexibility.
“It feels as if demand has doubled,” reports Karl-Heinz Strele from the plumbing company of the same name in Dornbirn and chairman of his guild at the Chamber of Commerce. There has been increased demand for two years thanks to lucrative financing. Around the turn of the year – with the expansion of financing – interest increased again. The Energy Institute’s telephone lines are also currently under pressure. The number of questions about replacing the heating in the spring of 2022 was just below the all-time high. Many at the time feared that they would soon run out of gas as a result of the Russian attack on Ukraine. “In addition to the replacement of heating as absolute topic number 1, questions about photovoltaic energy and building renovations have also increased significantly,” reports energy consultant Manuel Neuer.
