The current TV talk on the topic "Heated debate. How will we heat in the future?"

The MDR talk show “Fakt ist!” on the topic “Heated debate. How will we heat in the future?” takes place on Monday evening.

This is the topic that moderator Andreas F. Rook will discuss with his guests on “Fakt ist!” from Dresden on April 3, 2023.

The whole thing will be broadcast live at 20.30:22.10 p.m. on mdr.de, then at XNUMX:XNUMX p.m. on MDR television and on ARD Media Library.

Hardly any other topic has recently heated up the minds of Germans as much as the proposed ban on oil and gas heating.

From next year, every newly installed heating system will be powered by 65 percent renewable energy, according to the federal government's current plans.

This means that a pure gas or oil heating system can no longer be installed without further ado.

In most cases it will probably end up being a heat pump.

The technology is not only significantly more expensive to purchase than conventional heating systems.

Affected homeowners and tenants discuss this on “Fakt ist!” from Dresden:

Clara Geywitz (SPD), Federal Minister of Construction
Ramona Pop, Board Member of the Federal Association of Consumer Organizations
Jörg Dittrich, master craftsman and president of the Central Association of German Crafts

In many cases, additional costs arise if the building needs to be insulated and windows need to be replaced.

To avoid this, thousands of those affected quickly order a gas boiler or something similar.

Installers report a real run on the devices. But that cannot be the solution.

So how can the installation of heat pump technology be made affordable for everyone? Is this technology really the ultimate solution?

How is the skilled trades prepared for this gigantic conversion program?

And last but not least: What impact will the modernization plans have on rents?
