Gmunden relies on sustainability: Hons revolutionizes heating solutions!

The future of energy supply is in the region - this is the tenor, the Johann Gillesberger, an experienced player in the energy system industry, to the population in Gmunden and far beyond. The head of the family company Hons has experienced a lot in the industry in his over 40 years and is now relating to sustainability as the cornerstone of his company. Hons employs 55 people and focuses on the provision of long -lasting heating systems and regionally manufactured technology, which are not only ecologically sensible, but also support domestic value creation. As reports Tips, the range of products offered from wood chipping and pellet heaters ranges to air heat pumps and photovoltaic systems.

But what does sustainability mean? Gillesberger explains that this requires high quality. Hons' heating systems should not only be ecologically compatible, but also work reliably for decades. The company relies entirely on local manufacturers: the heat pumps come from Austrian production and the photovoltaic division is looked after by an experienced specialist company. Practical this means for customers: low -maintenance and reliable systems that help avoid ongoing additional costs.

The way to energetic changes

In the context of the energy transition in rural regions, the establishment of bioenergy villages is a very important aspect. These villages not only promote regional added value, but can also be seen in response to the dwindling supplies of fossil fuels. Especially in areas with many single -family houses, where the energy requirement is often higher and income less, an affordable energy supply is of enormous importance. According to Bioenergiedorf, the decentralized energy supply not only contributes to the creation of jobs, but also strengthens purchasing power in the municipalities.

These regional approaches are not only important locally, but also have national effects. Recent developments show that investments in modern heating systems such as in pellet heating are expected to have long-term regional added value of around 94 million euros, as [Ökoenergie] (https://www.oekoenergie.cc/94-mio-euro- Regional-wertschoeprag/). In 2024 alone, the installation of new systems over 26,000 tons of CO2 was saved, which benefited not only the environment but also the local craft businesses. The installation work secured about 26,400 "personal days", which underlines the importance of regional specialist artisans.

On the way to climate neutrality by 2040, up to 600,000 outdated oil heating in Austria must be replaced. The opportunities for domestic installation companies are high, and the heating costs remain through the use of innovative technologies in the region.

The combination of technological innovation, regional added value and ecological responsibility shows that Gmunden and similar regions have taken an important step into a sustainable energy future. Whether through the products of Hons or the structure of bioenergy villages - the direction is right. After all, it is clear: the energy transition is designed on site and the citizens are challenged to actively participate.
