Gas price increase as of 1.1.2022

That causes problems with the dew point, etc., etc.

Only if you don’t do it properly.

With ceilings and sloping roofs there are different problems again.

Both have already been done in old buildings. And sure – no renovation runs completely without problems.

because wooden beam ceilings lack sufficient stability and load-bearing capacity.

There are lightweight systems that work on any floor. Or, if it’s not exactly on the edge, there are also systems that build up much thinner than conventional underfloor heating and weigh about half as much.
So it often works and offers enormous advantages.

Converting an old building sensibly to low-temperature heating and a heat pump is really no picnic.

True. But usually it is still possible and pays off. Of course my 85-year-old grandma doesn’t do it anymore. And of course I don’t do it anymore if the house is going to be demolished in 20 years anyway. Everyone else will have no choice in a few years or will simply have to accept correspondingly high electricity costs. Although things are changing there too – 10 years ago there were no heat pumps that reached above 50°C flow temperature. The new R290 units all manage 70°C without an electric heater.

Edit: Sorry, I went off-topic again. On the subject:
I occasionally watch the oil price, and after a considerable upswing it has stabilized for about 4 weeks. Can something similar be observed with the (average, not new customer) gas price? Are there any good charts anywhere?

Bashing is (completely rightly) only done if someone STILL installs a new one NOW. There is no excuse for that anymore.

And this here:

would already help now. In addition, there are still walls, ceilings, and sloping roofs that may be used as surfaces if the floor is not suitable.

No, bashing is never okay. That is eco-dictatorship. Just like gendering and the ban on the "Negerkuss" and "Zigeunerschnitzel." No one has the right to dictate or dogmatize to others how they should live, speak, love, or believe.

And yet it has always been done everywhere. For different reasons. Whether you like it or not.

I know that, but don’t stop arguing against it because I hope that maybe someone will think about it and say to themselves, what am I actually doing, who do I think I am?

I know… who else?

We will be in the new house first, so in about 12 months.

hm.. I agree with you.. somehow this hasn’t been an issue for us until now.. but maybe it should be.. unfortunately now is the wrong time for a price lock, right?

The basic supplier is usually nearby, and I don’t mind helping to secure jobs in the local region. We mostly go with the basic suppliers, even if it is financially disadvantageous. I like knowing that the offices are nearby and the employees are also based here in the region.
