End of the Coal Era — Why Now?
Since 2024, new emission standards (Ecodesign) prohibit the sale of new coal boilers that don't meet class 5. Many municipalities have local anti-smog resolutions requiring old boiler replacement by 2026-2028.
Why a Heat Pump Instead of Gas?
| Parameter | Coal Boiler | Gas Boiler | Heat Pump |
|---|---|---|---|
| Heating cost (150 m²/yr) | 8,000-12,000 PLN | 6,000-9,000 PLN | 2,500-4,000 PLN |
| CO₂ emissions | 6-8 t/yr | 3-4 t/yr | 1-2 t/yr |
| Summer cooling | No | No | Yes |
| Comfort | Low | Medium | High |
