Investing in sustainability is not only good for the environment, but also for your wallet. But what are the costs and benefits of the most popular sustainable interventions? In this article, we take a look at the prices and premiums of some of the most widely used sustainable technologies.
Heat pump: The Heating Systems of the Future
Heat pumps are efficient heating systems that draw heat from various sources, such as the outside air or underground. Prices vary depending on the type of system, but range from €6,000 to €22,000.
Payback: Usually above 15 years, but this can vary based on electricity prices and solar panels.
Most importantly, invest in insulation first before considering a heat pump. Solar panels can significantly reduce the payback period. Find out the difference between air-to-air heat pumps and air-to-water heat pumps, and see which is the best solution for you! Be sure to contact us for no-obligation advice!
Heat Pump Boiler: Efficient Domestic Hot Water
A heat pump water heater heats water using heat from various sources, so it uses only a fraction of the energy required by an electric water heater. The price ranges from €2,500 to €3,500.
Payback Period: About 3 years, with rebates through the My Rebuilding Premium.
If you already have solar panels, a heat pump boiler can be especially interesting because it runs on self-generated energy. Would you like some more information about the different possibilities? Then be sure to take a look at our website!
Solar Panels: Solar Power for Your Own Home
Solar panels can provide your home with electricity from solar energy. The price varies depending on the number of panels and quality, but on average a 4,000 Wp installation costs about €4,800, excluding VAT.
Payback period: Usually within 3 years, depending on various factors.
With solar panels you produce your own electricity and can even benefit from premiums from Fluvius. Do you want to know how many solar panels would be ideal for you? Request a free quote for your home!
Home Battery: Storage for Self-Generated Energy
Home batteries are ideal for storing self-generated solar energy, especially if you have a digital meter and a heat pump or large PV system. The price for a 10 kWh battery is about €9,000.
Payback period: ranging from 6 to 16 years, depending on your situation and the price of energy.
Unfortunately, the home battery premium is only available for systems approved until March 31, 2023. Wondering if a home battery could be an interesting solution for you? Then be sure to contact us for a customized, no-obligation quote!
What can we conclude?
In conclusion, investing in sustainability can not only increase the value of your home in the long run, but also significantly reduce your energy bills. Costs and payback periods vary depending on the sustainable technology chosen and your individual circumstances, but with the right investments and incentives, you can benefit both the environment and your wallet. It's a win-win situation for everyone. So it's definitely not a bad idea to get plenty of information about all these options. Do you also need more information? Then be sure to get in touch!
