What do you think about the local heating offer?

If you roughly estimate something by eye using your thumb, and the thumb is thick, you tend to overlook inaccuracies.

The thumb has to be very thick indeed. The advantage of district heating is really the worry-free aspect.

With the heat pump, a lot would have to go wrong for there to be financial parity. I rather see a small car being financed permanently. With slightly higher house consumption than assumed, the calculation diverges even more.

On top of that, heat pumps are eligible for subsidies, and there are currently grants even for replacements. This probably does not apply to district heating.

It is about local heating, but basically it is the same principle, funding would be completely possible.

With *Nah*wärme you do not have the one-time investment in the technology. This is eligible for funding under certain conditions through the BAFA.

So at least they write on the page or in the flyer:

For your connection to the local heating network, you can take advantage of attractive funding opportunities from the Kreditanstalt für Wiederaufbau.

The BAFA is another agency that additionally promotes heating technology. Independent of the KFW and the KfW standard. The conditions were changed in 2020, there is a thread about it somewhere.
