An energy consultant can tell you that reliably. Unfortunately, I am not very familiar with multi-family houses and commercial properties when it comes to funding conditions. But it has nothing to do with Thuringia; the KfW handles that uniformly throughout Germany. You will not get the 5% environmental bonus with R32 anyway. So, at most 50%.

That is in the counteroffer. But I can't interpret Dummy.

Not 60,000 kWh, but 6,000 liters of oil consumption.

Because with the heat pump the flow temperature is only 45 to 50 degrees, and with oil I sometimes had almost 60 degrees.

That is why only a fool switches from oil to a heat pump without further measures. The clever person replaces the radiators and manages with 40-45 degrees supply and does not wonder about high heating costs, which the fool will have. ;) That's about the same. If you seriously calculate a COP of 3.5 in your old building, that is about 17,000 kWh of electricity. At 30 cents that leaves around €5,100 in heating costs. 6,000 liters of oil costs about €500 more. So you exchange high oil costs for high electricity costs.

Have I already mentioned that I have 8 kWp photovoltaics with a 5 kW storage system on the roof? But you are probably right, and I'll go searching again for another solution. However, I'm reluctant to replace more than 15 radiators. Some rooms simply don't have enough space for that. And the house isn't actually that old. Windows, insulation, everything is still excellent ... As I said, a prefabricated house with walls prefabricated in the factory.

Nope, but that has nothing to do with the heating or hardly helps you at all in winter. With my 10 kWp system, I produced less than 1,000 kWh from November to the end of February. During that time, the heating runs at full power. 1. You have to choose one of two evils. A few € one-time for radiators or high costs for the next 20 years... 2. Not enough space? I dare to doubt that. 33 cm radiators are only deeper; height and length are identical. 3. Everything still excellent? It may be that nothing is broken, but excellent in the sense of "insulates well" definitely not. Otherwise, you wouldn't need 6,000 liters of heating oil per year. 330 sqm in a new building don't need 5,500 € worth of oil. They only need 800 € worth of electricity. Just saying...

A different question. In my new building from 1990, I also had oil. With about 280 sqm in 2-3 apartments, I did not come anywhere near those 6000 liters of oil as far as I remember.
