Heating renovation in existing properties - what you need to know

The renovation and updating of the heating has become a key issue, especially for existing properties, and should always be given top priority when buying a property. In addition to personal values surrounding environmental protection, future political requirements to replace fossil heat generation in residential buildings should also not be underestimated.



For that reason, this guide is intended to outline various options on how to replace oil or gas heating with renewable energies. In the first place, there should always be a standardised energy label (GEAK) for the building, which on the one hand shows basic information as to which category the building falls under in comparison to other buildings, and on the other hand provides information about energy improvement measures.


Emergency replacement of a heating system becomes more difficult after the regulations have been implemented, as increasing regulations make quick solutions more difficult. All this makes predictive planning all the more important. Your local Engel & Völkers consultant will be happy to help you and can also recommend
