ᐅ Comparison of Heating Electricity Costs for Air-to-Water Heat Pumps from Different Providers

Hello,

Our Viessmann Vitocal 200 has now been running for almost 5 weeks. The screed drying program is finished, and we used 1270 kWh for that. But that’s just an aside.

Last Thursday, the local electricity provider and supplier came by to offer contracts for household electricity and heating electricity. We didn’t sign anything because we told them we first want to review the contracts. We plan to compare providers at home. Generally, I don’t mind staying with the local supplier, but the price is not right. Since both electricity types are currently on the basic supply tariff, I don’t need to act immediately.

Now my question to you: who else has already switched their electricity provider for their heat pump, and what price was agreed upon? My post is only about heating electricity, and I kindly ask only those to respond who have actually made such a switch or have experience with it.

Regards and thanks

Martin

I have a heat pump tariff that is about 6°C (11°F) cheaper than the standard household electricity rate, with a roughly similar annual fee.

Check whether using electric heating actually makes sense. The basic fee often outweighs the savings (at least in new construction).

Yes, I save about €50 (at least last year with around 2000 kWh). However, I also have a separate meter for my heat pump/heating system, so I can accurately determine the total cost for heating, hot water, and the heating pump.

Since the basic supply is currently covering both types of electricity, I don’t need to act immediately.

Now my question to you: who else has already changed the electricity provider for their heat pump, and what price was agreed on? My post concerns only the heating electricity, and I would really like to hear from those who have actually made such a change or have experience with it.

Hello,

just take a look at the common comparison websites for heat pump electricity tariffs. Our experience was that there is hardly any difference. More savings were possible with regular electricity.

What do you pay as a basic fee for the second connection?
You can also have a sub-meter installed for smaller consumption.
