Even after 2024, it will still be possible to install oil or gas heating systems
In 2022 alone, more than 600,000 gas heaters sold. "Oil and gas heating systems can still be installed after January 1, 2024," explains the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Protection. Anyone who installs a gas heating system after January 1, 2024, and before the new GEG rules apply, must operate it with 15 percent of climate-neutral gas, such as from biomass or hydrogen, starting in 2029. This mandatory share will increase in 2035. to 30 percent and to 60 percent by 2040. If the GEG rules already apply, the installation of a gas heating system is still permitted if it can be converted to hydrogen and the municipality's heating planning provides for an appropriate supply network.
