An Oil-Heated Detached House Built in 1975 in Oulu

Sari lives in an oil-heated detached house in Oulu with two residents. She wanted concrete suggestions on how to save energy and reduce costs.

Apex Heat’s Recommendations

By switching to a geothermal heat pump, the house could reduce the energy required for heating by 69%. Additionally, the energy source would shift to more environmentally friendly electricity, cutting emissions by 91%.

With geothermal energy, only 69% of the energy that was previously required to heat the house with oil would now be needed from electricity. The heat pump would generate the remaining energy by harnessing heat from geothermal boreholes.

With an investment of €25,600 in a geothermal system, Sari’s house could achieve annual savings of €3,380. Local contractors will provide the final design and implementation plan for the system sizing when they submit their quotes, which will also clarify the exact final cost of the investment.
