1. If you have a functioning gas/fuel furnace, then you can repair and continue using them. When it comes to an 'end'.....then you led to some solution which is not going to be natural gas or oil.
How far does this gimmick go? My neighbor has a heating system that will be 30 years old when winter of 2024 comes around. I'm guessing that a lot of people will be using their system way past the normal end-date, and preferring not to get into the heat-pump situation.
2. Besides heat-pumps and a connection to your local district heating network.....you can also install a pellet and wood heating system.
You can also go to the solar thermal energy situation or hybrid heating. Natural gas systems that can hook up to hydrogen systems.....(future trend) are also permitted.
3. Odds of drawing AfD Party counter-arguments? Well.....yeah, this is going to attract a number of folks, and politically make it a problem for the coalition government in 2024.
Did the government really need to mandate how you heat your home? This is another argument in the situation, and I would imagine that one out of every three Germans are asking this question.
Finally, I should note this....if this trend took off, and you had hundreds of thousands of homes suddenly go for the heat-pump....the industry does not have enough trained/certified people to quickly jump in and get the job done. Locally, I'd say that if you called the heat technicians....all would be eager to sign a contract, but no one is going to get on a schedule for at least twelve months.....maybe even eighteen months.
(Last year, my wife had an associate that had a tile job they wanted done, for a renewed bathroom. Tile guy in their village where they lived just laughed.....his calendar for a minimum of eight months was filled. Plenty of work to be done, not enough craftsmen existing anymore.)
