Heating Costs Compared: Save with iDM Heat Pumps Instead of Oil and Gas!

Heating Costs Compared: Save with iDM Heat Pumps Instead of Oil and Gas!

Cost Comparison: iDM Heat Pump vs. Fossil Fuels

  1. The calculation basis for heating demand, hot water demand, and COP (Coefficient of Performance) is formed by approximately 500 iDM systems with different building equipment (e.g., radiators, underfloor heating, PV system, battery storage) of varying sizes; therefore, the data vary from system to system.

  2. The electricity consumption of the heat pump includes the compressor and fan; the listed prices are sourced from various providers (E-Control, EPEX Spot, Statista, Destatis, AK, Durchblicker).

  3. The cost analysis is based on the EPEX Spot tariffs in Germany for the specified period. Depending on future developments in the market price, higher energy costs may occur.

  4. Feed-in tariffs are not considered.

  5. Gas heating – Gas price: 11.87 ct/kWh including grid fees, taxes, and levies.

  6. iDM air-to-water heat pump – Electricity price: 30.35 ct/kWh including grid fees, taxes, and levies.

  7. iDM air-to-water heat pump with iON – EPEX Spot Day-Ahead (Sep 2023 – Aug 2024) including grid fees, taxes, and levies.
