Without heat pump, so without heating and hot water?

It is only about the household electricity because wrote in post #226:

Therefore, I am somewhat reassured regarding electricity consumption.

Currently, we still heat with oil (Buderus). Hot water also comes from there. The heating system will eventually be replaced. So far, it has been running without any problems. Nevertheless, I already had a gas connection installed because it was free. However, the CO2 tax will come starting in 2021. Therefore, I am not yet quite sure about the next heating system, possibly pellet(?). "Our" installer said there would soon be a new refrigerant for air-to-water heat pumps that would increase efficiency so that they wouldn’t necessarily have to use electricity for backup heating even on particularly cold days. Long cold periods are common in our area. When others are already working in their gardens, we often still have snow or at least it’s not yet possible to think about the garden due to the temperatures. A year ago, I had a cost estimate made for a ground-source heat pump plus solar on the roof. It took some time until the offer came. When I finally had it, I knew why. It comprised about 50 pages and each page was supposed to cost on average €1,000! Installation work was not included and would have been five figures again. I didn’t read it that precisely anymore because €50,000 plus 1X,000 € for a heating system – even with funding – is beyond reason for me. And I think I still remember that – contrary to my wish – only an air-to-water heat pump was included in the offer. I am also considering first getting a gas heating system and waiting to see what happens in the heating technology sector. Gas boilers don’t last forever either and according to my energy consultant, I could still "survive" with a gas boiler for now. I took that as a compliment ...
Heating is another project anyway :)

Now that the outside temperatures are low single digits, we run about 30 kWh per day including household electricity, with 2 people working from home -> meaning the computer and coffee machine are running here all day. ;) Also, overall the house is quite warm. We only have one heating circuit and if we turn it down to make it cooler overall, it becomes too cold for us in the bathroom (with open shower). The heating installer said we are not allowed to just adjust the flow rates because they set them according to calculations and the values are also relevant for BAFA due to the performance factor. Whether someone will come to check that in the end? No idea. The technician from Stiebel Eltron who repaired our device said that the first year should generally not be evaluated because the building is still damp. I also notice that quite a lot of condensate drains off.

So there are actually no room thermostats anymore in modern houses today? We still have one in every room. However, they are hardly ever adjusted. In the living rooms, it is about 20 °C. That is our base temperature. Usually, we then turn on the wood stove in the afternoon and increase it by about 2 °C. If it gets too warm, we "vent" the excess heat into the stairwell, so that it is about 18 °C on the upper floor. It is a bit warmer in the bathroom.

Individual room control is required according to the Energy Saving Ordinance.

We, 2 adults + child, have now been living since September 1st in our 150sqm house, Kfw40 and LWZ 5s plus.

In November we had an average of 16 kWh, December so far is 20 kWh.
