Hello everyone,
we are currently planning our house and considering whether the additional cost from KfW55 to KfW40 plus "is worth it." By worth it, I mean on the one hand the amortization period but of course also other advantages and disadvantages, such as a central ventilation system compared to a decentralized ventilation system.
Our general contractor standardly offers the following options (alternatives are possible by agreement):
[*]KfW 55 (no additional cost): aerated concrete plan stone 36.5 cm, air-water heat pump, underfloor heating, decentralized ventilation system
[*]KfW 40 plus (€25,000 additional cost): aerated concrete plan stone 42.5 cm, air-water heat pump, underfloor heating, central ventilation system, photovoltaic + energy storage
My specific questions are:
1) What savings potentials arise due to lower heating costs, electricity costs, and feed-in tariff, if energy price increases, maintenance, and repairs / total loss of components are disregarded? I understand that many factors play a role here and this can hardly be calculated, but maybe based on comparison values and taking into account the following information, at least a rough range can be given:
[*]The house is located in NRW (mild climate)
[*]Roof orientation / pitch is almost ideal for photovoltaics
[*]The house has no basement and with the 42.5 cm stones a living area of 190 m²
[*]2 adults and 2 small children
[*]3 kWp photovoltaic, 6.5 kWh battery (assumption)
[*]Temperature in living areas approx. 23°, bedrooms approx. 21°
[*]The additional KfW funding options are, of course, known to me, but the KfW loan interest rate is less favorable than the interest rate of our bank, so the advantage would be reduced to €8,150.
2) What other advantages and disadvantages arise between KfW40 plus and KfW55?
3) Further tips for ways to arrive at a good decision?
Many thanks in advance for your assessment!
