Where did you get the prices from? There are only costs for disconnecting
If you have your night storage heaters dismantled and collected by a specialist company, you should expect costs of 100 to 300 euros per heater.
However, the costs can increase if the heaters contain hazardous substances. This applies particularly to asbestos-contaminated heating bricks. It is best to obtain a quote from various specialist companies to compare prices.
How high the disposal costs are depends on the following factors:
[*]Labor (two people or more)
[*]Travel
[*]Additional equipment (e.g. crane, lifting platform)
[*]Packaging
[*]Disposal fees
[*]Additional effort for handling hazardous substances
The night storage heaters are extremely heavy (200 kg and more) and can hardly be transported out of the buildings as a whole. However, dismantling inside the house releases hazardous substances. Then the house is decontaminated. Therefore, the old night storage heaters are mostly given away in classified ads.
But even for free, nobody takes them. I once inquired myself at a specialist company that disposes of these things. It was about 12 such units and it was supposed to cost around 6000 euros gross. There are also districts where you can actually dispose of the units for free. But then only in one piece and securely packaged accordingly.
From 2009, night storage heaters were banned. In 2014, they were allowed again. So pointless energy policy has not existed only since Habeck. He just tightened it a bit more.
