ᐅ Electric Meter – One or Two?

Hello everyone,

The house construction is progressing well.
We are building a single-family house with 126m² (1,356 sq ft) of living space plus a basement. Heating will be provided by an air-to-water heat pump and underfloor heating on the ground floor and upper floor, as well as in the basement hallway.

Now I am wondering whether to install one or two electricity meters.

Our electrician would like to install two electricity meters.

I am questioning whether that makes sense. Of course, electricity for the heat pump is cheaper than household electricity, but the meter also incurs a fee.

Lawsuit against whom and based on what damage?
Nonsense. Misconduct against the terms and conditions can primarily lead to termination. So what?
They probably include the clause only because of an agreement with the energy supply companies. The possibility of control is practically zero. They just are not allowed to offer heating electricity.

@Alex85 @toxicmolotow
Do you have single-rate meters or dual-rate meters?

Quick question: Is a photovoltaic system planned? Usually, then it’s not worth it

Well, I don’t think so in the next 10-20 years.

Just called Grünwelt.
According to their hotline, they cannot supply me with a single-rate meter combined for household electricity and heat pump electricity because the grid operator would reject it.
Interesting statement, considering I had a contract with them for this exact setup two years ago.

They probably include that clause due to agreements with the utility companies. Possibility of control is nearly zero. They just aren’t allowed to offer heating electricity.
@Alex85

Once again, you’re incredibly quick to talk nonsense.

The terms and conditions of a provider I know state that a) the contract will be terminated (lost profits for the minimum contract period), and b) the previous supply since the start will be replaced by a tariff equivalent to the basic supply. With an annual consumption of 8,000 kWh and a difference of 7 cents, that’s about 560 euros, which the utility will claim. If not paid, the usual procedure follows: collections, payment reminder, lawsuit... For legal details, please consult a lawyer.

It’s questionable how far they will get with this. However, I am not going to be a guinea pig.

The fact is, one may be knowingly stepping into this problem. Or not, if the issue is unknown (surprising contract clause).

And here, there are only single-rate meters.
