Bafa funding for heat pumps will be discontinued as of 31.12.2020.

I don't understand this at all. Does this also apply to existing houses or only to new buildings? The Bafa program was supposed to run until the end of 2021, right?

Individual measures on existing buildings will continue to be subsidized from 2021 onward (BEG EM) => Replacement of current BAFA.

How high are your eligible investment costs and the associated ancillary costs?

We come to 28.3 thousand EUR including 19% VAT + ancillary costs (for foundation). The ancillary costs have not yet been quantified.

Unfortunately, I cannot say anything more specific at the moment, as I do not know the exact costs :(
In our case, it was a special deal that we basically "negotiated". Compared to the previous (worse) heating system included in the factory contract, we later received the Vaillant, which is both technically better and will be cheaper thanks to the subsidy.

In the application, the maximum 50 K€ were set as a flat rate, we'll see later what comes out in detail.

Hello everyone,

sorry for the double post, I had already asked the question in another thread but believe it is better placed here.

We also want to build next year, have now started planning, and want to take advantage of the Bafa subsidy.

It has already been written here that many submit the application more or less on a flat-rate basis.

How binding are the details in the Bafa application and the associated offer regarding the type of heating system and the specific type, which must be selected?
Initially, we tended toward an air heat pump, but after a longer conversation with the heating engineer, we would now go for a ground source heat pump with deep drilling. We have an offer for such a system and the deep drilling. We have not yet submitted an application or anything for the deep drilling; we only know that our property is not in a water protection area.

Specifically, two questions:

[*]Could we - if the house is fully planned and - we find that the dimensioning does not fit or we want to choose a different manufacturer or the deep drilling becomes too expensive for us - switch to a different system, in particular even to a different type of heat pump system (air heat pump)? We understand that only the amount corresponding to the actual costs is subsidized and if the alternative becomes more expensive than indicated in the application, the full amount will not be subsidized.
[*]The application requires agreeing to the following: "no official approval is required for the measure to be carried out, or - if an official approval is required - it can be presented upon request." Is this relevant for the deep drilling? Do I have to obtain approval for the deep drilling before submitting the application to Bafa? That would be up to 100m the district office and >100m mining law? But we probably would not manage that within this year? Or do I not need all of this for the application yet?

Thank you very much in advance!

We have the same combo and stated 33k for 163m2 (according to the general contractor it will probably be a bit less, but it only makes sense to estimate higher on the application).

Then we are significantly lower with our 192 sqm and around 28k. I think I will increase it as well.

May I ask which Vaillant Arotherm you exactly have?

I have read through the posts here over the past two days and am not really any wiser. One might want to stone me for my question now, but could someone please answer a very straightforward example:

Hausbau KFW40+ for 500,000 €

How much do you get then?
150,000 € as a loan from KfW and how much is the repayment grant?

I thank you in advance...
