District heating vs air-water heat pump in KfW 40 plus

I can only agree with that. You already have an expensive provider and are still at their mercy. Our kWh price with a gas tank is currently about 5.54 ct/kWh. No base price. So you are already paying double for the kWh.

If I were you, I would definitely try to get away from that.

That means, if I calculate generously, we (2 adults + 2 small children) consume 10,000 kW per year. Is this assumption realistic?

Means for the local heating: Base price (for the first 15 kW) = 401.57 € Basic work price 10.12 ct/kWh at 10,000 kW consumption = 1024.1 €

Total: 1425.71 € per year -> 118.81 € per month

That is probably a steep price.

The costs per year for a Kfw 40 plus house would probably be significantly lower. That would affect both electricity consumption and heating costs.

Is a saving of 500 € per year realistic? For a qualified answer I probably have to go through everything with the energy consultant.

Thank you very much for your feedback!

We have a local heating connection.

Cost: €4,000.00 development and connection costs one-time

Basic price: €140.00 per kW of connection capacity (we have 4.56 kW)
Price per kWh approx. 6.5 - 7 ct. (tied to the price of light heating oil)

Consumption (townhouse 130 m²) since the end of April 2014 including screed drying 20,000 kWh and 1 meter of wood in the wood stove.

The basic price includes the annual maintenance and the heat exchanger itself. So if it breaks, it will be replaced. Therefore, we do not have to set aside any reserves for this. It is good that we are allowed to operate an additional stove.

I just noticed that I wrote above that no additional heat sources are allowed. That is not entirely true, as tile stoves are permitted.

The costs may possibly be optimized a little this way...

But thank you for your numbers!

I find the consumption somehow high. I have used about 2400kWh for screed heating (and directly with electricity, i.e. heating rods of the heat pump in February/March, so it was not particularly warm outside) for about 160 plus basement. Annually (however brine) so far about 1600kWh electricity for heating and hot water.

from on the go

A question for district heating users.

Is the connection or the installation costs subsidized by BAFA or KfW?

Does anyone here happen to know the appropriate subsidy program?

Thank you very much for your answers!
