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

Lunchtime lalalala so when I turn on my induction cooktop, it probably uses 4 to 5 times as much energy for boiling water and frying on several burners compared to my heat pump running at full capacity. And it's not just me cooking; many people do, both privately and professionally.

On the other hand, if I turn on all the LEDs in the entire house, it still uses less than my heat pump.

In the evening, cooking might also happen, but around 4 p.m. when all the office buildings (and there are many) close, some capacities will likely become available again.
