Maximum comfortTechnical requirements:
intelligent measuring system (iMSys)
To use a dynamic electricity tariff, a smart electricity meter is required that records consumption at short intervals and transmits the data in the correct format.
These meters enable precise recording of consumption and accurate billing, which is necessary for dynamic tariffs.
Heat load calculation included
The heating load calculation is the decisive step for an economical and comfortable heating system. Our specialists will be happy to calculate your individual heating load and find the optimum solution for your home.
Smart home devices and automation (optional)
Appliances that can be controlled in their electricity consumption (e.g. heat pumps or electric cars) can maximise the benefits of a dynamic tariff.

What are the advantages of a heat pump?
According to the Federal Environment Agency, around 80% of the final energy consumption of an average household is still accounted for by the provision of heat. In many cases, fossil fuels such as natural gas or oil are still used here. This is not only expensive in the long term, but also has a negative impact on the environment.
If you want to heat in a cost-effective and climate-friendly way in the long term, you would be well advised to switch to renewable energies. Such as a heat pump. These systems work like a refrigerator in reverse: they extract heat from the environment, such as the air, ground or water outside, and bring it into the house. There they transfer the heat to the heating system.
FAQ
Heat pumps transport heat from the ambient air, groundwater or the ground into buildings. A refrigerant in pipes transfers the heat by vaporising and compressing it.
This allows it to reach temperatures at which the heating system can operate. The refrigerant then expands and the cycle can begin again. This process requires electrical energy.
An air-to-water heat pump draws its energy from the ambient air and converts it into heat to heat rooms and produce hot water. These heat pumps are designed to work efficiently even at temperatures as low as -20 degrees Celsius. They are a more environmentally friendly and economical alternative to conventional heating systems.
Heat pumps are able to generate heat efficiently even at low temperatures of down to -20 degrees Celsius. It can be assumed that a pleasant indoor temperature of 20 degrees Celsius can be achieved even on icy days of the year.
An air-to-water heat pump extracts most of its energy from the air. Nevertheless, a small amount of electricity is required to convert this energy into heat. As a rule, around 75 % of a heat pump's energy consumption is generated by the outside air, while the remaining 25 % is provided by the household's electricity supply.
Heat pumps are four times more efficient than oil or gas heating systems. This means that they generate around 4 kW of heat energy for every kW of energy used - in contrast to gas or oil heating systems, which only generate around 0.8 to 0.9 kW of heat energy. In addition, heat pumps offer better value for money as they are easier to maintain; they also have a longer service life: a heat pump can easily be operated for 20 years, while gas or oil heating systems last 15 to 20 years on average.
Up to 100% ofCO2 emissions can be saved by switching to a heat pump. The savings rate is heavily dependent on a wide range of factors, such as the power supply for driving the heat pump. With a green electricity tariff or in combination with a photovoltaic system, the installation of a heat pump is one of the most important measures that an individual household can take to reduce itsCO2 emissions.
Yes, the costs for a heat pump are eligible for subsidies. In Germany, subsidies of up to 70 % of the purchase price are available for switching from an oil or gas heating system. In addition, an air-to-water heat pump skilfully uses the outside air of your home in combination with low electricity consumption to generate the same amount of heat that you are used to from a gas heating system. This means that you can save up to 40 % on your energy costs. With risingCO2 prices on fossil fuels, the operating costs of a heat pump will also increase.
Our energy consultants at the SWG customer centre on Marktplatz will be happy to provide you with comprehensive advice on subsidies.
Air source heat pumps are usually installed outside buildings, in gardens or on terraces. In this way, they can take in air, extract the heat from it and then use it to heat both the house and the water. As a rule, the space required is only a few square metres plus a certain distance between the heat pump and the house wall to allow good air circulation.
The outdoor unit of the heat pump does generate noise, but this is comparable to the noise level of a refrigerator or a quiet washing machine. The highest noise level occurs in the winter months, but the appliance remains extremely quiet even at this time. In the warmer months of the year, the operating noise is even lower.
