Heat pump with heat pump tariff?

Is it common to have the blocking period?

With heat pump tariffs, yes, but ours is limited to 4-5 pm and in the morning I think 7:30-8:30.

For heat pump tariffs, yes, but ours is limited to 4-5 pm and in the morning I believe 7:30-8:30.

Do you have to understand the reasoning behind it? Is the pump completely switched off from electricity then?

We have had 2 meters so far, one of which was only for the heat pump with the heat current from enbw. Did that pay off? No idea, in any case as already mentioned 2x the basic fee was due. Now with photovoltaics and storage, it will never pay off, it has now been changed to one meter.

We previously also had 2 meters, one of them only for the heat pump with the heat electricity from enbw. Did that pay off? No idea, in any case, as already mentioned, the basic fee was charged twice. Now with photovoltaic and storage, it never makes sense, it has now been switched to one meter.

Almost at normal household electricity costs?

almost at normal household electricity costs?

Yes, let's see what the total consumption will be from 1/1 for one year. We have 8kWp on the roof and a 10kW storage system. I'm curious what will need to be purchased. Against that are the revenues from the feed-in of the PV electricity.

Is the pump completely switched off from power?

The purpose behind it is to cushion load peaks. These peaks would bring any power grid in the world to its knees because at 7 am everyone is making coffee in the office and every second person is turning on their PC.

But us heat pump owners are not bothered by this blackout period, since hot water production should only take place at noon anyway, as the outside temperature is highest then.
