From 2024, at least 65 percent of every newly installed heating system is to be powered by renewable energies. Failure to comply with these rules can result in severe fines.

Anyone who does not comply with Habeck's heating law will face fines of up to 50,000 euros in the future. In addition to oil and gas heating systems, wood-burning stoves could soon be under attack. The fine to be paid for a heat pump not subjected to a tax audit or is not replaced in time is 5000 euros.
