How long does confirmation from BAFA for a heat pump take?

I am interested in how long the processing of the BAFA funding took for you?

Currently, one receives an acknowledgment letter, and due to the high demand, it takes some time.

Preferably with the submission date.

I applied in mid-August, received confirmation of receipt of the documents, and have been waiting for a response since then...

Oh, ok... Thanks.

Do we still have to wait for the activation or can we start right away?

The confirmation of receipt is sufficient, I believe it also says that somewhere again. In my opinion, it is even enough that the application is submitted before the start of the project, but you should check the application documents again, it is stated there exactly.

Received the grant notice yesterday. So for me, about a 4-month waiting time. WP commissioning is anyway not until January, so it fits perfectly...

I'm curious - we will also install our WP in January, but until then, nothing will probably come from the BAFA either.
