Tool for determining the amortization period for changing the heating method
The app is based on Motiva’s energy recommendation calculator, which you can also use to estimate your home’s annual energy consumption for this app. There used “0-year values”,
i.e. investment costs, can also be found there.
The calculation assumes that energy prices will increase by 2% per year. Loan interest was not considered.
The amortization period of the change investment can be determined along the horizontal axis at the intersection of the curves.
