Germans could save thousands by ditching gas heating – even if they have to take out a loan to electrify their homes.

A new analysis by clean-tech brand 1KOMMA5° compared a €10,000 new gas heating system with a €60,000 package consisting of solar panels, battery storage, a heat pump and an intelligent energy management system.

It found that the clean set-up costs €104,542 over 25 years, based on an interest rate of 5.99 per cent, a government subsidy of €16,500, and savings on energy costs.
