Hello €uro.
You have been reading here for quite a while, so you should know that I only write what I can stand behind – it’s a pity that you still haven’t internalized that.
Already in 1992, I had a goal-oriented conversation in the executive suite at RWE regarding the heat pump tariff, with the result that the gentlemen took me aside at the end of our long conversation and explained to me almost literally, “As long as we make money on gas, you will not get a discounted tariff, even if your system admittedly is very economical.” End of quote. Since this argument – frankly – annoyed me quite a bit, I approached other suppliers, usually smaller to medium-sized utilities and municipal utilities, and obtained the heat pump tariff for this radiant heating system from all of them; sometimes with, sometimes without cut-off times. Since 1993, numerous single-family homes in NRW have been operated with radiant heating – billed according to the currently valid heat pump tariff – economically, without any form of maintenance or renewal of the system itself.
This alternative green argument no longer convinces me, because if we want to stick to the truth, we would then actually only be allowed to work in daylight and warm ourselves in the evening from the person opposite us. Even renewable raw materials have a devastating ecological balance.
All in all, there will be no other chance in the medium term than to heat with electricity. The “Jehovah question” has long been how to do this economically and ecologically sensibly. And until then, there is no universally valid answer on how to bridge the way to this end goal. Rather, it will be a hodgepodge of energy sources – depending on political direction and the builders’/renovators’ wallets; with some luck, the disaster in Japan will accelerate this development.
Best regards
Are you sure that you are allowed to operate a radiant heating system with a heat pump tariff? Is that actually permitted? What you’re writing here is quite dangerous!

Hopefully we won’t talk about the additional primary energy expenditures!
