Good day,

my wife and I are currently looking at a used single-family house. It was built in 2004.
However, it has an electric block storage heater installed. Additionally, apparently there is also a wood stove.

I have already googled and everything, but I can't seem to find anything somewhat current about electric block storage heaters. Does anyone know about this? I just don’t want to have to retrofit a new heating system. But since the house was built in 2004, it’s still relatively new. Therefore, I can’t really imagine that they installed outdated technology there.

Does anyone perhaps have experience with such electric storage heaters? They must be very expensive to heat with, right?

Hello,
That will probably not be avoidable, unless you want to live with a money pit in the future.
Electric direct heating is the most expensive form you can imagine. In a penthouse, this is less significant; in a building built in 2004 with correspondingly high demand, it’s a disaster.

Best regards

Hello €uro,


With all due respect - this statement is typical of you again. But I forgot, you never answer even remotely without the appropriate commissioning, as can be read here again recently

With a heat pump tariff - you did not ask about the basic values, nor about the other parameters - it certainly does not have to be a money pit (your favorite word)!

Kind regards

Hello construction expert,

Where might the heat pump be hidden here?
You surely mean a night electricity special tariff (NT). Some things can already be assessed from experience. The "little wood stove" is not there for nothing in a corner. I would also recommend comparing the annual price increases between the "special tariffs" and the "basic supply"!
Furthermore, I assume that SiRa is smart enough to have a demand energy performance certificate presented.
Best regards

@ SiRa

"The lowest annual heating costs are caused by the electric storage heater, namely about 12 euros per square meter of heated living space" Source: tga-Praxis

There are countless providers/variants of electric storage heaters, so I would recommend discussing the installed system with a specialist. Only then will you receive useful information that can support you in your purchasing decision. A universally valid statement without knowledge of the parameters is not serious here.

@ €uro

Unfortunately, that is a widespread misconception

No, I usually mean what I write; an HT/NT is deadly for the wallet. A radiant heating operating on the heat pump tariff – direct heating for example made of marble – on the other hand is not only economical to run, visually appealing, freely placeable – for example like a picture on the wall – but also an extremely healthy warmth.

Best regards

What nonsense!
Where exactly is the heat pump so that one could use a heat pump tariff?
Are you sure that a radiant heating system is allowed to be operated with a heat pump tariff? Actually permitted? What you are writing here is quite dangerous!
I myself plan radiant heating in heat pump systems and, if necessary, but exclusively for a strictly limited temporal coverage of peak demands!
For 1 kWh of thermal demand, a heat pump costs €0.04/kWh, whereas direct electric heating already costs €0.16/kWh, so 4 times as much!
Hopefully we don’t want to talk about the additional primary energy expenditure!

Regards
