Heat pump and household electricity all through one meter

With you maybe, with us the difference is 10 cents.

The margin will come. At the latest when everyone is throwing up, hefty discounts will come, you can adjust the crystal ball.

I'm quite relaxed about it.

1. I've been waiting for the margin for 10 years (unsuccessfully)
2. Even if it should be a 10 cent difference, I don't care. In my example, I would save just 5€ per month on 3,000kWh heat pump electricity. However, if I only consume 2,500kWh heat pump electricity, the heat pump tariff only brings disadvantages because I don't save financially.

Hi, my experience is: I have saved a lot! It will be around 1500-2000 €, however, one should also consider that there can be blocking periods and with a photovoltaic system there is no possibility to save household electricity and heat pump electricity.

1500 euros? What kind of rates do you have? And what does your heat pump require?

Well, the rates change over the years, I started at €0.09 and for the first 10 years there was a 15% discount. I have to say that at first we didn’t pay any attention to electricity consumption. We only switched to clinker bricks after 5 years, which naturally resulted in relatively high consumption. After 18.5 years, so 19 heating periods, the meter reads 83,000 kWh. The meter rent was €50 in the first years and is now €75 (€90 from November 23). The difference in recent years was about €0.08. By now we pay more attention to consumption and regulate the temperature more cleverly. (Often enough the window was opened when it was too warm.) Now there are only two of us left and consumption has dropped from an average of 4500 kWh to 3200 kWh.

Anyone who recalculates will come to a much higher amount, but I no longer have the difference of all the years in mind and have calculated very conservatively including other control cabinets, etc. Otherwise, a savings of €5000 would result.

With an 8 cent difference and approx. 3,000 kWh saved, you save roughly €240. Minus basic fees + meter rent. So today you are more or less cost-neutral. But you do understand that in the past you didn’t save money but spent too much by heating too much, right?!
