I have an 80 m² apartment with old radiators and the heating bill in winter is brutal. I've seen that heat pumps have come down in price quite a bit lately and I wanted to know if it's really worth making the switch, especially considering I'd have to do renovations. Has anyone made the switch recently?
It depends a lot on whether your apartment is well insulated, because otherwise you'll spend money on renovations without seeing much benefit. Heat pumps work better when you don't have thermal losses all over the place, so before investing check your windows, doors, and insulation. That said, if the property is in decent shape, the switch is worth it in the long run - prices have dropped quite a bit and the savings on your heating bill are real, even though the initial investment is still substantial. My recommendation would be to get quotes from local installers, have them do an energy audit of your apartment, and calculate how many years it'll take you to recoup the investment with what you save on heating.
