The prices of coal and eco-pea coal have soared recently. One of the main reasons is the embargo on the raw material from Russia, which has been in force in Poland for several weeks. However, the upward trend has continued for several years and will not change for sure. How to heat the house in the next heating season?
The average annual retail price of 1,000 kg of hard coal in 2019 amounted to PLN 885.40, and in 2021, prices per ton of coal ranged from PLN 900 to as much as PLN 1,900. We are constantly watching the growth!

In the first quarter of this year. that is, from January to April, coal prices jumped by about 25-30%. According to the analysis of the Polish Smog Alert, average coal prices have increased by up to 100% since January 2021.
The Polish Smog Alarm conducted a price control of coal and its derivatives, such as walnut or eco-pea coal with the highest calorific value.
In the last week of March this year. The average price of class 1 nut coal was approximately PLN 1770, while the average price of eco-pea coal was PLN 1980 and was still growing.
The maximum coal prices reached even PLN 2,500 per ton, but the prices of eco-pea coal are even worse.

In January 2021, one ton of eco-pea coal could be bought all over Poland for about PLN 800. A year later – for around 1400. Now it is difficult to find a place where eco-pea coal costs less than PLN 2,000, and it happens that you have to pay over PLN 3,000 per ton. And it doesn’t stop there, say the sellers.
What and how much to heat the house?
Many people wonder what to heat the house, not only the costs of purchasing the device, but also its further operation are important.
There are many options available on the market: oil boilers, coal, eco-pea coal, pellet, wood, electric or gas heating. However, in most cases, renewable energy is the best solution. The ideal duo is photovoltaics with a heat pump.
– Our clients know this very well and can sleep well. – says Adam Krajewski from Vosti – a company offering heat pumps, photovoltaic installations and energy storage.
Currently, there are several funding programs available in the country, eg Czysteair, Moje Ciepło or Moje Electricity. The investment can also be included in the thermo-modernization relief in the annual tax declaration. All this allows you to reduce the initial cost of purchasing the device and enjoy the comfort of use for years to come.

Why is it worth arranging a professional energy audit?
How to estimate the building’s power and heat requirements for heating? Perhaps you associate the term OZC (Calculation of the Heat Requirement of a Building) is a method of calculating the amount of heat needed to heat a building, and thus the necessary heating power, to determine the building’s energy class.
It’s best to make an appointment with a professional during which such an energy audit will be carried out! After the meeting with the expert, you will receive information:
- what heat power is needed to heat the house
- what energy class is the building
- what type of heating to choose
- what will be the costs of heating the building in various ways – from coal and wood to a heat pump
- what changes (ceiling insulation, fuel change, or maybe boiler replacement) will reduce heating costs the most.
