We also renovated, extended, and completely refurbished an old house built in 1956. Windows, doors, roof insulation. The old walls remained uninsulated and were only replastered. 36 cm masonry, double-layered with solid clinker bricks. Partially there is still a ventilated insulated facade, only one small wall made of hollow blocks was insulated with [WDVS].
Living space is just under 200 sqm. Without skimping, I only need 1000 liters of heating oil for heating, 800 kWh for hot water generation with electricity. About 4 cubic meters of wood for one fireplace and a kitchen stove.
Electricity costs almost nothing due to the photovoltaic system, wood also costs nothing. So heating costs currently remain at about 80 euros per month. I still have stock at 0.90 cents per liter in storage.
Therefore, I have no worries even without a massively insulated house. I always keep it warm and we heat comfortably high. However, from today's perspective, the low ceiling height is positive. I only have 2.20 m in the house. That saves a lot on heating.
And even a heating oil price of 2 euros per liter would not kill me. And I would say that my oil heating combined with wood is still cheaper than a heat pump. Apart from the heating behavior of a heat pump. It’s always the constant temperature in every room. The nice feeling when you come into the house from freezing cold in winter and then have 25 degrees in the room by the stove, most heat pump owners don’t even know that. And I often have 25 degrees room temperature in winter.
