I would like to follow up with my question here.
I heard from an acquaintance that his air heat pump consumes about 5000 kWh annually. I am still missing some of the basics, but I was a bit shocked. It is also said that the pump has a separate electricity meter and receives discounted/subsidized electricity.
I suspect that the 5000 kWh actually applies to regular operation without switching on the electric heating element.
Can anyone provide me with some practical experience or link some basic literature on this? Is the consumption really that high? Is the electricity really subsidized? If so, to what extent, etc.?
Thank you very much!
