Heating costs: Interim reading for gas levy!

Anyone who uses less energy in the coming heating season than in the period before the crisis will achieve lower percentages in terms of annual consumption in 2022. The interim reading is therefore worthwhile for everyone who has optimized their heating system in advance and carried out small or large insulation measures.

It's still summer and rising gas prices are leaving many users cold. If prices are further increased in October due to the general gas levy, gas customers will be faced with double demands. On the one hand, it is important to limit yourself, that is, to record consumption until it increases. You can then save a lot, advises Cathrin Becker, energy consultant at the consumer advice center.

Avoid estimation!

Consumption is estimated without intermediate reading. When making estimates, the utility companies rely on what are known as degree day numbers. These go back to the national average over the last 20 years. Accordingly, 8 percent of annual heating costs are incurred in October, 12 percent in November and 16 percent in December.

Anyone who uses less energy in the coming heating season than in the period before the crisis will achieve lower percentages in terms of annual consumption in 2022. The interim reading is therefore worthwhile for everyone who has optimized their heating system in advance and carried out small or large insulation measures. The meter reading as of September 30, 2022 should be reported to the utility company immediately in writing at the beginning of October so that it can be taken into account when invoicing at the end of the year.
