Just came across an article stating that although prices for existing properties continue to fall, they have apparently risen again (minimally) for new builds this January. The underlying statistic was apparently the Europace House Index (or something like that), in case anyone wants to google it themselves.

So in new buildings, the heat pump is certainly always the best choice, but for old buildings, which are mostly affected, there are indeed a few alternatives to the heat pump. And here I would definitely see pellet heating. For this, you don't have to turn the whole house upside down (but you do need space in the basement). A combination of a small heat pump with gas heating is also conceivable. Of course, you can't reach 65% with solar thermal or photovoltaics, that's true. Unfortunately, there is simply no really good solution if you don't want or can't do a lot of remodeling. I once considered pellets a good idea. But when you then hear that pellets are often dried with gas or that forests in Eastern Europe are cut down for this purpose, you somehow lose enthusiasm for this option again. Not to mention the horrendous costs that each of these solutions causes.

In addition, there is the devastating climate balance of wood heating as well as the health effects. Entire housing estates are turned into fine dust monsters, entire neighborhoods poisoned.
