electricity, heating to

On Monday we finally got our electricity meter. With about a week late is that our heating system went into operation.

Stadtwerke Hannover install a meter for heat pumps with double switching to off-peak power only if the fuses are located in a separate sub-distribution. The meaning behind it all remains hidden. The public utility could call with no useful reason. I think it is pure harassment or excessive paranoia. There was already in my fuse box for a clean separation of the heat pump and all other circuits. The heating element of the heat pump does not run on Wärmepumpen-/Nachstromzähler may be, I can understand even the sub-distribution is not.

links of the double electric meter for heat pump (HT) and night electricity tariff (NT), in addition to the normal electricity meter. Below right is the control module for switching between HT and NT to see:



Ok, what matters is that we now have electricity in the house. The heating system already works and passes through the drying schedule for the floor so that it can begin in the next week of the tile.

Here's the heating system already in operation:


control unit of the heat pump (left) and the solar system (right). The photos I took on Tuesday (9.6.) To have admitted at 7:15 and although only about 15 ° C were outside, we are above 32 ° C in the solar collector. On the weekend of the solar collector heated the water tank then relaxed to 65 ° C. (the solar collector was about 70 ° C with a few clouds).


Now that we finally have electricity, will now work the shutters and the door bell.

the weekend, I then cleaned the windows with my wife .... It was a mess! But now the coarsest dust and splash the floor is down. On average, we needed a 15l bucket of water a window (without detergent). A few dents and a scratch on the windows in a door panel, we have unfortunately. The site manager said this already, that the damaged window sash to be replaced.

What Are Liver Palpatations

blower-door test

On Thursday I had with my supervisor and my architect a date for the Blower - Door test.

When I arrived at the house for 16 hours were both already there, and had already prepared everything. So the neighbor power tap and off you go. Our current count we have until Monday (more on that later).


very first readings were very good. Even before we had closed all the drains was found that we test the tightness be complete without problems.

The result of the test was easy, despite the windy weather to be just under an hour: The air exchange rate, the n50 for our house must be under 1.5, 0.5 ! This value even meets the requirements for a passive house. Here is a photo during the measurements:


power we are getting now, unfortunately, until Monday. The Public Utility demand recently for the electricity meter of the heat pump (Wärmepumpen-/Nachtstromtarif) a separate sub-distribution: Say a separate meter cabinet. Actually, for the left part thought of the meter cabinet. The fear that someone draws off illegal power must be huge ...

Well, mainly the electricity meters are finite.

Our water filter was also installed. So we can fill our heating system or with construction water because the ready signal is given only after completion of all sanitary facilities.
