ᐅ Is a Separate Meter and Electricity Tariff for an Air-to-Water Heat Pump Beneficial?

Hello everyone,
We have an air-to-water heat pump in our newly built house and are considering whether it makes sense to install a separate meter for it and to get a separate tariff. Do you have any experience with this? Is it worthwhile?

And how are you planning to handle this with a meter? Assuming 7,250 kWh per year. How is the split between household and heat pump? An internal electricity meter for the heat pump? That is accurate enough for this purpose.
We are having everything run through one meter for now.
I had assumed that everything runs through our regular electricity meter. I couldn’t see any electricity meter inside the heat pump.

Internal electricity meter for the heat pump?Our VWS only displays the amount of heat generated. (Considering the progress in heat pump technology over recent years, this is already a bit of a “museum piece.”)N

Maybe we’ll run everything through a single meter for the first year to accurately monitor consumption, and then decide again. That is exactly the right decision. Check how much electricity the heat pump consumes in heating mode without a separate rate or meter. Optimize the heat pump in the second year, and by the third year you can calculate, based on consumption and experience, whether a separate rate or meter is worthwhile.
