ᐅ Air Source Heat Pump and Electricity Consumption

...and I’m happy if the indoor temperature stays below 25°C (77°F) even in summer. At a constant room temperature of 25°C (77°F), my only piece of clothing, if any, would be swim shorts.

That’s how 90% of our visitors feel as well. For us, it’s perfect.

...and when your friends come to visit, it’s like, "we’re going to the sauna again tonight" .
Or do you run a sauna club???

No – I don’t like saunas – it always feels too cold to me.
Friends have actually shown up wearing shorts and Hawaiian shirts (at -10°C (14°F) outside),...
When friends come over, all the windows are opened, and we dress warmly.

Hahaha... I can totally relate. Even our bedroom currently has 23°C (73°F), although it still uses a gas heating system.

I would like to continue with my question here.

I heard from an acquaintance that their air source heat pump consumes about 5,000 kWh (5,000 kWh) annually. I am still somewhat unfamiliar with the basics, but I was a bit surprised. Additionally, it seems that the pump has a separate electricity meter and receives discounted or subsidized electricity.

I assume that the 5,000 kWh (5,000 kWh) actually refers to regular operation without activating the electric heating element.

Could someone share their experience or recommend some basic reading material on this? Is the consumption really that high? Is the electricity actually subsidized? If so, to what extent, etc.?

Thank you very much!
