Our Technibel heat pump (about 10 years old) has finally reached the end of its life after roughly 10 years, so we needed to replace it. Technibel apparently no longer sells products in Germany, and initial quotes for a unit from another manufacturer were around EUR 12-15k (including installation, pipe adjustments, etc.).
Our heating technicians advised us to try to find a stock model of our Technibel pump, as the replacement would be much cheaper with fewer modifications required.
I have now actually managed to find a stock unit of our heat pump (with the same technical specifications). However, I did not pay attention to one detail: the pump was apparently intended for the French market and operates on 230V (not 400V like the version for the German market).
Now the electrician is telling me that I need a special approval from the grid operator to connect a 230V heat pump.
Is this correct? Do you have any experience with this?

We have just completed the handover of our build with a Hamburg-based developer. If my wife hadn’t been checking the construction site weekly, the privately owned part of the property would have been a complete mess: wrong tile backsplashes, incorrect fittings, window outlets missing, and so on. For the handover of the privately owned property, we hired an expensive building inspector (he is the author of the book on handover inspections), and he was worth every penny. He noticed things that a layperson would never see.
For the handover of the common property, we hired the same inspector for the homeowner association, with the same results.
I would NEVER buy from a developer again and NEVER accept a handover without an expert inspector. It’s a professional (developer) versus laypeople (buyers).
