The Energy label for heating is coming, but...

... initially only for oil, gas and electric heating. From 26 September 2015, all heating boilers which are operated with fossil energy sources or electricity must be provided with an energy label, just like all other electrical devices, such as fridges or washing machines. The new EU guideline also applies to hot water tanks up to 500 litres. For biomass systems, the energy label will only apply from April 2017.

The aim of the guideline is to make it easier for customers to differentiate between the boilers. However, this is only possible to a certain extent with this labelling, as the energy consumption of the individual system is shown, but the actual heating costs based on the prices of the different fuels is not taken into account. If you have questions about this topic, our regional representatives will gladly advise you.
