LPG
LPG

+ the boiler does not require a boiler room + special offer on installation and assembly of the tank - longer wait time for the boiler installation permit is quite costly

LPG

+ fixed low price, even for up to 2 years + after the promotional period, a fixed price for one year, updated every 12 months + option to pay for usage based on meter readings + free installation service

LPG

+ fully maintenance-free system + various applications: heating, cooking, or water heating + 24/7 technical support

LPG

+ low carbon monoxide emissions + virtually zero particulate matter emissions

Heating oil
Heating oil

- high costs of installing the system and purchasing the boiler itself - requires space for a boiler room and fuel storage

Heating oil

- relatively high heating costs - the boiler requires frequent inspections and adjustments, which affects operating costs - a one-time payment for the entire fuel purchase

Heating oil

+ heats domestic water + does not cause staining - the boiler requires frequent inspections, cleaning, and adjustments - requires storage in a separate room

Heating oil

- significant emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) and nitrogen oxide (NO) - these fuel resources are non-renewable- no guarantee of the uniformity and quality of heating oil

Pellet
Pellet

- requires space for a boiler room and storage - high price of the boiler with additional automation

Pellet

- heating is quite expensive, due to the high price of good-quality pellets and high consumption (several tons per season) - a one-time payment for the entire fuel purchase

Pellet

+ heats the house and provides hot water - requires constant maintenance (cleaning, refilling) - requires a large amount of dry storage space - ash requires disposal

Pellet

+ low carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions - high carbon monoxide (CO) and particulate matter emissions

Coal pea
Coal pea

- requires space for a boiler room and storage - high cost of purchasing a retort boiler

Coal pea

- the high price of eco-pea coal with the right properties (especially in winter) - high boiler failure rate, which increases heating costs - one-time payment for the entire fuel purchase

Coal pea

+ heats domestic water - accumulates dirt and dust in the boiler room - the boiler requires frequent cleaning - the boiler has many failure-prone components

Coal pea

- releases large amounts of carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide (CO and CO2) during combustion

Heat pomp
Heat pomp

- very high cost of purchasing and installing the system - requires a large plot of land (ground source heat pump)

Heat pomp

+ very low heating costs + payment for electricity consumption based on meter readings - during severe frosts, it is necessary to use an additional heat source (e.g., electric), which significantly increases operating costs

Heat pomp

+ heats water + a fully maintenance-free solution - electricity is required to keep the pump running; if there is no electricity, the heating does not work - another energy source is needed for cooking

Heat pomp

+ does not harm the environment + uses renewable energy sources
