Heat pump campaign weeks: How to save heating costs in the Mühlenkreis!

Rising heating costs are affecting many households, and switching to the latest heating technologies is more in demand than ever. A concrete step in this direction are the upcoming action weeks for heat pumps in the Minden-Lübbecke district, which will be held from November 3rd to 21st, 2025. Organized by the Minden-Lübbecke district and the NRW consumer advice center, these weeks offer practical information about heat pumps, their technology, structural requirements and costs. Hello Lübbecke reports on this promising event.

Citizens can look forward to personal consultations with experts who provide in-depth insights into the dimensions and the necessary structural requirements. In addition, participation in all events will be free, but registration is required.

Program highlights of the action weeks

The campaign weeks offer several information lectures and visits that enable participants to obtain comprehensive information about heat pumps. The central events include:

• 3. November: „Einführung in die Luft-Wasser-Wärmepumpe im Bestand“ im Preußenmuseum Minden.
• 18. November: „Welche Wärme für mein Haus?“ im Rathaussaal Porta Westfalica.
• 19. November: „Schritt für Schritt zur Wärmepumpe“ in der Begegnungsstätte Wehdem (Stemwede).

These meetings have the motto of energy-efficient building renovation, part of the ALTBAUNEU project, which promotes the renovation and modernization of existing buildings in North Rhine-Westphalia.

Claims and funding opportunities

It's obvious: energy costs are rising, and this is where the heat pump comes into play. According to the consumer advice center, switching to electric heat pumps not only reduces heating costs, but also promotes the use of renewable energies. These systems detect heat from the outside air as well as from the soil or groundwater, making them an environmentally friendly heating solution.

Funding from the federal funding for efficient buildings (BEG) makes the purchase of heat pumps more contemporary. The funding potential is extensive:

• Grundförderung von 30% bei förderfähigen Kosten.
• Klimageschwindigkeitsbonus von 20% bei Austausch alter Heizungen.
• Einkommensbonus von 30% bei einem zu versteuernden Einkommen unter 40.000 Euro.
• Effizienzbonus von 5% bei der Nutzung bestimmter Wärmequellen.

BAFA also has numerous programs on offer that make renovation more efficient and focus on environmental friendliness. From January 2025, applicants can also benefit from new regulations that make access to funding easier.

Future prospects

The continuation of the BEG beyond the turn of the year is assured, which gives hope for a sustainable energy transition. Take the first step towards cost-efficient and environmentally friendly heating technology.
