Vestaxx window heating - experiences?

The order value is so much lower that it scares the dealer more than the avoided mess actually pleases the client and not him as well. We are talking here about a hypothetical replacement of the glass in 30 years – who can say today what applies then – is the discussion meaningful? I rather think not! Let's stay in the here and now. But not on such a specific topic; you are more likely to end up with five thousand off-topic posts than reaching a goal.

The functionality and consumption have probably been sufficiently explained. Also, the perspective considering all costs, i.e. consumption and primary investment, actually makes some sense.

However, I would like to add the following: If you go to a Porsche forum, a major topic is the actual fuel consumption of the new models. So, someone buys a completely overpriced car and then discusses the actual fuel consumption.

What does that tell me? That the primary costs as a one-time investment are planned and paid for in the budget. With that, you’re quickly done; otherwise, you just give up right away.

The consumption costs as ongoing costs, however, are then open to discussion. Just buy a cheaper car right away, and then the fuel prices for the next 10 years should be more or less irrelevant, one would think.

But that’s not how people think. And here comes the first point of criticism.

Okay, where would I see an approach? In my insignificant opinion, even more positive aspects would need to be created to achieve further acceptance.

For example, a thought would be to install an intelligent outer pane, which upon applying a control voltage can adjust the light transmittance up to opacity (possibly even total darkening).

I have to route the electrical installation for the window heating to the frame anyway, so a synergy effect could be created here. And if I could then also do without electric shutters with all their weaknesses, this would be a new line of thought.

That means: no more shutter boxes, which today are almost as expensive as the windows themselves. Possibility to anchor wide elements into the ceiling or lintel. One less thermal bridge, along with all the eliminated special measures in monolithic construction. No space problems with continuous ring anchors at the top. Freely selectable window position in the masonry cross-section, and a few more reasons to dispense with shutter boxes.

Marketing this as a total package option could maybe be a viable idea.

I only say 500,000 heat pumps per year :eek::eek::eek: -> who is supposed to build them all (lead time: currently months or even years) and WHO is supposed to install them all??? Don’t you hear the news???
