Eligible costs for heat pump

Unfortunately, I had already submitted my application before I knew about the service (exactly one day before). Underfloor heating in new buildings is not eligible for funding. Only in existing buildings, if it is installed as part of an energy-efficient renovation.

Hm. Damn.

In my opinion, the advantages essentially lie in the fact that you are guaranteed to apply correctly and have no stress with the BAfA until the funding decision (e.g. requests for additional documents, etc.). Ultimately, the service eliminates the risk of possibly not receiving funding due to a faulty application. Obviously, our heating engineer wants to use the service and expects us to pay for it. I guess we will do that then.

Sh**. That probably applies to the pipe network for the ventilation system as well, right?

Read the information sheet and checklist. Pipes of the ventilation system are explicitly supported.

Yes, you first need an offer that really only includes the heat pump and the necessary work and materials for it. There are only very few surrounding measures in new buildings (e.g., water softening system to extend service life) that are also subsidized. In addition, the BAFA check after one year (can be subsidized). And possibly a ventilation system (but only with joint control with the heat pump). Later, when you submit the costs, you need, among other things, a corresponding invoice/proof of costs for the same items. Since your contracting partner is your general contractor, they must also issue it. Some have difficulty with that (so says my general contractor). It is best to read the BAFA information sheet very carefully. It basically contains everything; there is just a lot of talk included. It also states, for example, that the concrete commissioning of the executing installer is the cutoff date (so you must apply before that), not the contract with the general contractor.

Ok. Thanks already for the answers. I have now also found information on a heat pump info page. If you build with a general contractor, you should also submit the BAFA form "Confirmation of the builder" when applying. It also states again:

The start of the project is considered to be the legally binding conclusion of a delivery or service contract attributable to execution with the specialist contractor. Planning services may be provided before the application.

According to this way of thinking, the specialist contractor is then the heating installer and not the general contractor.

Sh**. Does that then also apply to the piping network for the ventilation system?

No, these are eligible for funding:

Heat pump systems combined with ventilation units including heat recovery
- provided eligible heat pumps are combined with ventilation units including
heat recovery and these components are operated jointly in terms of control technology
- including necessary ventilation ducts and ventilation accessories

Ok... thank you very much so far. It has already helped me.

The planned air-to-water heat pump and hot water storage tank are listed among the Bafa-eligible heat pumps.
But in the end, it depends on the annual performance factor of 4.5.
I have now used the online calculator from Wärmepumpe Punkt De.
So far very convenient.

Unfortunately, for my model, I only achieve the annual performance factor of 4.5 if I reduce the share of domestic hot water heating in the total heat demand to 15%.
(The preset value is 18%)

That seems unrealistic to me. We are building KfW55. You can hardly find anything about it online.
And if you do, it rather sounds like the share of hot water generation is significantly above 15%. Even strongly towards 50%.

What values do you have?
