I was looking at what I'd need to get a heat pump installed yesterday, before the state website even started discussing the different types there were links to weatherization programs and efficiency requirements. My house is about 70 years old, even with insulation updates in the 00s it's a drafty bitch
Our home is from the 19th century, but with modern insulation it's still fit to be heated with ACs and a heat pump. We've opted not to since that's a big ass unit and we're limited on space, but it could work.
We did have to replace isolation basically everywhere and we still need to replace some door frames, but the total cost was just a few thousand euros, before govt funding.
Doing almost all of the work yourselves saves a fuckton of money.
