According to this, 27% of Hungarians use wood-burning boilers and stoves, and 26% use gas boilers to heat their homes.
Central heating is widespread, with 24%, and convector heating with 20%, primarily among those living in apartments.
Alternative methods, such as heat pumps, are still rare; only 2% of Hungarians use them.
While 78% of the respondents live in a property whose heating costs have so far amounted to no more than HUF 20,000 per month, as a result of the price increases, only 57% of the respondents expect that this amount will continue to cover the heating costs.
Producing journalism that is worthy of the name is a costly business. For over 30 years, the publishers, editors and reporters of the Budapest Business Journal have striven to bring you business news that works, information that you can trust, that is factual, accurate and presented without fear or favor.Newspaper organizations across the globe have struggled to find a business model that allows them to continue to excel, without compromising their ability to perform. Most recently, some have experimented with the idea of involving their most important stakeholders, their readers.
