Hello,
we are planning a single-family house of about 150sqm (1,615 sq ft) built to the older KFW 55 or 40 standard.
We have just received an offer for district heating – how would you assess these costs? Unfortunately, I have no comparison to know if this is reasonable or not...
One-time connection fee including transfer station: €7,140 (€6,000 net)
Basic price per kW: €41.65 (€35 net)
Consumption price per kW: €8.93 (€7.5 net cents – fixed until 12/31/2031)
According to the information, approximately 80% of the energy is generated from renewable sources, which would be good for possible subsidies if they become available again.
How do you find the pricing offered?
What annual consumption can be expected here?
Thanks for your effort

we have district heating here.
What exactly is the difference compared to local heating?
In our case, the power plant is about one kilometer (0.6 miles) away.
Since January, we have been paying a significantly increased price, almost doubled:
Energy price:
15.10 cents net per kWh
Basic fee:
39.10 euros per month net
Location:
Northeastern suburban area of Hamburg
A basic fee charged per kW does not make sense. It is probably per month instead.
Considering the current energy prices and those we have had in the past,
I find your prices very reasonable.

Consumption price per kWh: 8.93€ (7.5 cents net – fixed until 31.12.2031) I’m not an expert in local or district heating, but if I understand this correctly, for an estimated annual heating demand of about 10,000 kWh:
10,000 * 8.93 cents = 893€ per year
12 * 41.65€ = 499.80€ per year (assuming the 41.65€ is a monthly charge)
Altogether, that’s about 1,400€ per year in heating costs, plus the one-time connection fee. And you’ll still need to arrange something for hot water. Even if the basic price is to be interpreted differently or the heating demand is lower, you’re likely to end up around 1,200€ per year. You can usually achieve lower costs with a heat pump, plus benefit from having one less energy supplier and the option to generate your own electricity with photovoltaics.
Of course, you can also look at it the other way: you don’t have your own equipment, get heat delivered to your house, and don’t have to worry about any maintenance.
Hot water is usually generated through a fresh water station, which is connected to the 800l (210 gallon) buffer tank containing water heated to approximately 80°C (176°F).
In our new housing development, there is also district heating, which runs with air-to-water heat pumps; overall, these systems are more cost-effective and provide significantly more space in the utility room.
