The whining here happened 1:1 in the 80s/90s as well, when the regulations now being discussed were also introduced for oil burners and gas heating systems without condensing technology.

That is something completely different. Back then, it was only about replacing a boiler. Now it is about installing a heating system where you practically have to remodel the house at the same time.
Of course, it's a conflict. On the one hand, you want to save CO2, on the other hand, it shouldn't cost anyone anything ;) Personally, I also think that mandatory renovation in old buildings is nonsense. The same money is better invested, if in doubt, in an energy-efficient renovation and continuing to operate a gas burner.

Personally, I don't mind if it costs me something. We have also accepted the other measures and have already spent tens of thousands of euros on them. None of the measures would have been absolutely necessary. But we are talking about large investments here; it's not done with 5,000–10,000 EUR. As I said, in principle, I am absolutely for climate protection, I vote accordingly and live by it. But it has to be somewhat feasible.

I wouldn't say for myself that it shouldn't cost anything. As I said, the conversion was planned anyway, but I would like to have the option to possibly wait 2-3 years longer. For example, because there is another child on the way and therefore the savings rate is low in between Or because a car suddenly breaks down and money is needed accordingly Or because something else happens. It's simply unpleasant when you (yes, even as heirs possibly) are obligated, just a few years after buying the house, to put a lot of money in again, even though the existing heating system is still running completely smoothly and the chimney sweep had absolutely nothing to complain about.
By the way, in this context: what happens if one could only cover the costs through a loan, but does not get a loan, for whatever reasons? For houses that are paid off, the value should regularly be high enough that even retirees get a loan, but what about houses that were bought expensively during the low interest rate phase and fully/almost fully financed? There are certainly some cases where an increase of the loan to such an extent is not easily approved by the bank?!
