You are completely right. Our municipal utility, for example, has long since stopped offering heat pump tariffs altogether. That is why we are also not planning to install a second meter, as we would have to pay a monthly basic fee for it regardless of its use. It's somewhat paradoxical – they would install it, but we can't use it due to lack of tariff offerings, yet the basic fee still applies.
To enable the thread starter to make a realistic comparison, one should look in the same region under similar conditions. I think the range is between 300 - 1000€ and therefore offers no added value.
It is also important to consider the reserve fund for future renovations in the ancillary costs, which is a mandatory part of the ancillary costs in every condominium owners’ association – for good reason. In the single-family house sector, this is often forgotten or ignored, which then leads to panic when the facade already needs painting, let alone a new heating system, a new roof, or similar. We have set aside a lump sum of 300€ in ancillary costs for ourselves to counter future price increases for craftsmen and materials. With 100€ per month, after 10 years maybe just painting the facade including additional work is covered if the craft services continue to increase in price, but no technology is accounted for yet. And the more of that is installed in the house, the higher the reserves should be in my opinion. Heat pump, ventilation system, water softener, inverter, battery storage, wallbox, electric blinds, large kitchen appliances, and all the other expensive electrical and mechanical stuff that is around in the house. Some things you can replace yourself, but sometimes the acquisition costs for the materials alone are already immense.
I also understand that this is not feasible for every homeowner, so this was only one (our) example.
You can sign up for the heat pump tariff with any provider you want.
