Hello,

I am currently reviewing the application form for the air-to-water heat pump subsidy from BAFA. There are quite a few details to consider, fill out, and provide.

Now, a heat pump quality check is also required after one year of operation. With a subsidy of €1300, an estimated €300-400 will probably be spent on that.

Has anyone here applied for the BAFA subsidy and can share how the process went and how smoothly everything was handled?

It raises the question of whether the effort is worth the subsidy.

What a hassle? Filling out a few sheets and getting 4,500 euros for it from Sole?

With an air pump, you have to provide even less proof, so why 1,300 euros? There were also 4 certificates, right?

The quality control check is a joke – no one really knows what it's supposed to accomplish. I just have it stamped and that's that.

For air-to-water heat pumps, there is a subsidy of 1300 euros for uncontrolled and 1500 euros for capacity-controlled models. However, this only applies if the annual performance factor is at least 4.5. I haven’t read anything about a check.

Actually, it’s stated in the fine print in the attachment. I’m not allowed to post any links here. Just try searching for Bafa heat pump quality check.

Four certificates would be great. In our case, it’s “only” 1300 euros (€), but there is apparently an additional 500 euros (€) on top for having the SG Ready label and a domestic hot water storage tank. So, in the best case, it could be 1800 euros (€) for us. Not bad at all.

The potable water storage tank is not considered a buffer.

Incorrect! According to the conditions, the domestic hot water tank is also recognized as a buffer. The only requirement is 30 liters (1.1 cubic feet) per kW of output.
