Hello
We are now considering whether to run the heat pump on a separate heat pump meter or to connect it normally to the household electricity supply.
What additional costs should we expect if we use a separate meter? The electricity costs are clear, but are there other fees, such as installation costs, that may apply?

My experience is that the heat pump meter is inaccurate or does not measure the total electricity consumption (for example, it seems not to include the circulation pumps in my case). My electricity with a basic charge is actually quite a bit cheaper for the heat pump, but it is hardly worthwhile.

Hello, this is not a question. The heat pump is automatically connected to a separate peak/off-peak meter. No, you have a choice.
We have only one meter and chose a favorable tariff – less than 20 cents per kWh including the basic fee. However, you have to be willing to switch providers.
I would therefore avoid a second meter with a possible second basic fee and so on.

In 2015, we were with Stromio and paid exactly 19.7 cents (including base fee). For this year, we signed a contract with eprimo (a subsidiary of RWE) and expect a price of about 18 cents per kWh.
Of course, any granted bonuses should be taken into account, but with reputable providers, this is not an issue.
