Hello,
In my neighborhood, heat pumps are gradually failing. One common reason mentioned is the shutdown periods during which heat pumps practically come to a complete stop.
One neighbor has now switched from peak/off-peak tariffs to a regular household electricity tariff without any shutdown periods.
What do you think about this? How are the electricity conditions where you live, is it worth switching? The heat pump tariffs don’t seem significantly cheaper when I look closely.

The basic fees seem to vary greatly. In our case, the annual basic fee for the heat pump tariff would be just under 70€ (about $75), while the standard tariff is nearly 190€ (about $205), but there is only a 4 cent difference per kWh in the energy price.
We will not install a second meter for now because that would require a larger meter cabinet, which in turn would mean a new door to the basement due to space constraints at the meter cabinet location. This would result in considerable costs overall. It only makes sense if we eventually get an electric car, which could then be charged using the heat pump tariff.

At the latest then, the second meter will become unnecessary again.

We have a balcony power system installed on the porch by the front door, and that will probably be it for the foreseeable future. Our roof hardly has any suitable surfaces for solar panels, and the only small south-facing area is already used for solar water heating. There are also hardly any suitable spots on the balcony or fences. A few individual panels here and there might be possible, but nothing large-scale.
