We are glad to help you buy and save smartly on heating oil. Just as honestly, we say: oil heating is a phase-out model. Under Germany’s Building Energy Act (GEG), since 2024 new heating systems may only be run with a growing share of renewable energy; pure oil and gas heating will be retired in the long run.
Existing oil heating may keep running and be repaired, but anyone building new or doing a major renovation should look at alternatives such as a heat pump or hybrid solutions. So heating oil stays relevant for years for existing systems, but it is not a technology of the future. We give you the facts, the decision stays with you.
