From when is a heat pump worthwhile in an old building?

Hello,

in an old building there is still an oil heating system, which is to be replaced by a new heating system. So the question is whether the heat pump is worthwhile, it is subsidized at 45%, right?

Therefore the question is whether it is worthwhile. Data about the house:


    [*]Solid construction from 1970
    [*]Basement: fully basemented, basement height 201cm, exterior insulating paint, 11.5 cm calcium silicate solid brick 1.8/250
    [*]Ground floor/attic: 11.5 cm calcium silicate solid brick 1.8/250, 2cm styrofoam, 17cm calcium silicate 1.4/150
    [*]Roof: collar beam roof with concrete tiles, insulation also present


Of course we would install underfloor heating here. But with the above data, does a heat pump even make sense? Or should one rather go for a gas heating system here?

What have you had so far for heat demand / consumption? What other measures do you have planned? What does the engineering office say about the room-specific heating load calculation or heating system design? I can tell you that this winter in my (still) uninsulated mid-60s old building with new underfloor heating and mostly new windows + basement ceiling insulation, I never exceeded 30 degrees flow temperature for an indoor temperature of 21.2-22 degrees. The consumption costs are about half of the previous oil consumption (which has shifted even more strongly in favor of the heat pump in recent weeks).

We have only just bought the house and therefore cannot say anything yet; I thought there might be some general statements, for example, that a house needs insulation X or not.

So, the heating system has to be replaced anyway. The question is only whether it should be a heat pump in the future or a gas heating system with solar, which is technically possible.

In general, it is therefore also possible to install a heat pump, right?

Correct. If you switch completely to underfloor heating, a heat pump would be a good alternative. Possibly combined with a photovoltaic system. ;)

The search for a gas provider should already provide the answer. ;-)

In general, any house can be operated with a heat pump. It is just differently labor-intensive. Underfloor heating is already a great prerequisite. A insulated roof, too. Then make sure that no wind whistles in anywhere and insulate the basement from below by yourself. Then, with the help of various forums, properly size the heat pump, omit the buffer, and you'll be heating cheaply and environmentally friendly.

Actually, it would be helpful if you could get some data from the previous owner such as oil consumption and room temperatures. Then you can make initial, rough estimates of how well or poorly the house is insulated.

OK, great thanks. The oil consumption would be easy to answer, but temperature? Hmm, hard to say, it is an elderly lady. The heating was set to 2-3 and it was definitely warm with single-digit temperatures outside.. Radiator panels are present there.

Of course, I would also renew the windows here, these are insulated glass windows, so there is even more to do.
