Electricity consumption of your heat pumps - comparison values?

Hello,

unfortunately, I can only contribute something on this topic later in the year.

However, I have a question within the framework of our planning that also targets consumption.

Our electrician suggested expanding our meter cabinet with a separate heat pump meter for 550 euros in order to use the corresponding heat pump tariffs. It will be a brine heat pump with deep drilling.

KFW 55 house, 160 sqm living space, heat pump also for hot water preparation.

Is this expansion worthwhile? I feel like I can heat a lot before it pays off (without knowing the prices of the different tariffs).

Thank you very much in advance.

Usually not worth it. Search for a cheap provider on comparison portals and that's fine. The separate meter can be blocked during peak load and it also costs an extra basic fee.

My heat pump currently consumes four times as much as normal. So about 60 kWh per day. However, that is not normal and if that were really the case (i.e. four times as much as stated), one could just as well heat directly with pure electricity and do without the heat pump. Such talk is just pub talk.

We have KFW 55 with 160sqm, but an air-to-water heat pump. Even for us, the second meter did not pay off; for you, due to the certainly even lower consumption, it probably won't pay off either. Just calculate it yourself with the local numbers and don’t forget the additional basic fee per month. Even if a photovoltaic system is supposed to be installed later, having two meters makes little sense.

Type of heat pump: Air-to-water heat pump - Tecalor THZ504
House size (sqm): 160
Electricity consumption: December 497 kWh, annual performance factor approx. 4.2
Hot water generation via heat pump? Yes
Energy efficiency house: KfW55 (2017)
Calculated heating load: approx. 7 kW

Thank you very much for your feedback, which confirms my thoughts.

My consumption values will be available at the end of the year.
