Less and less time to replace classless boilers - deadlines for replacing class 3 and 4 furnaces

The deadlines for replacing old boilers that do not meet ecodesign are approaching inexorably. Do you know by when you need to replace your old stove? We want to share with you information on the dates of boiler replacement in individual provinces. We have prepared an article for you that contains all the relevant details.

 

If you currently have a solid fuel boiler that does not meet at least class 3 standards, it is time to replace it. These boilers do not meet any ecological standards, and the substances emitted by such devices are not regulated. It should be emphasized that the main cause of air pollution in Poland, including harmful smog, is "low emission", coming mainly from the burning of coal and wood in households.

If you have a class 3 or 4 wood or coal boiler, you must replace it by January 1, 2028. As for space heaters, including fireplaces, from January 1, 2023, only devices that meet ecodesign requirements or have a thermal efficiency of at least 80% can be used.

If your old boiler needs replacing, you have several options to choose from. You can replace it with a pellet, wood or coal boiler, gas heating, electric heating, heat pump, light fuel oil boiler, provided that they meet the ecodesign requirements.

Boiler replacement times vary by state, so it's important that you familiarize yourself with the relevant regulations in your location. Replacing your old boilers with greener appliances as soon as possible is an important step in fighting air pollution and protecting our planet.

Remember that replacing the boiler will not only benefit the environment, but also your home comfort and your wallet. Modern and ecological solutions can provide more effective and economical heating. Do not hesitate to take action and check what deadlines and requirements apply in your region so that you can enjoy clean air and a modern heating system.

The deadlines for replacing boilers in Poland are set by the relevant state institutions. The main role in this process is played by the Ministry of Climate and Environment, which develops and introduces regulations on eco-design and emission standards for heating devices.

The Ministry of Climate and Environment is based on the European Union guidelines on energy efficiency and emission reduction. On the basis of these guidelines and analyzes on the state of air pollution in Poland, the ministry determines the categories of boilers, replacement dates and ecological requirements that must be met by new heating devices.

In addition, local governments, voivodeship environmental protection funds and other institutions may also have an impact on the timing of boiler replacement in individual regions. They can introduce additional financial support programs for homeowners who choose to replace their old and more polluting boilers with new, greener appliances.

It is important to follow the messages and information of the Ministry of Climate and Environment and local authorities to stay up to date with applicable regulations and deadlines for replacing boilers in your region.
