Administrative questions

What are the rates?

The rates can be found on the page Rates.

What do the items on my annual statement mean?

The rates are determined annually by the Authority Consumer & Market (ACM). Here is a brief explanation of the items on your annual statement:

  • Heat: the rental of the delivery set. The delivery set is the installation required to safely transport the hot water from the Heat-Cold storage System to the indoor installation for space heating and/or hot tap water preparation.
  • Heat exchanger: heats up the cold drinking water that flows to the hot water taps in the kitchen or bath room. This happens in a separate system. This way, the drinking water does not come in contact with the hot water out of the Heat-Cold storage system.
  • Meter rate: costs for the measurement of your heat consumption. This is established by using a calibrated meter to measure the inflow and outflow of heat in your home. The difference between these is the heat output, which is measured in m³ (hot water) or GJ (heat).
  • Cold: fixed charge for providing cooling.
What are the possibilities of the customer portal?

In the customer portal you can alter your personal data, check your consumption, view invoices and change your advance payment.

What are the connection, delivery and general terms and conditions?

Can Warm Heren van Breda also conclude a contract for electricity?

No, unfortunately that is not possible. Warm Heren van Breda only provides sustainable heat and not electricity.

How can I use my heat installation (financially) sustainable?
  • Every 2-3 hours, the system checks whether it needs to heat/cool. It takes 8-10 hours to adjust the room temperature to the requested temperature. Going from a low temperature to a high temperature takes extra power. Therefore, we recommend leaving the thermostat at a constant temperature;
  • Try not to leave windows and doors open unnecessarily to prevent heat/cold loss;
  • Balanced ventilation on a normal/low setting reduces the flow of cold/hot outside air into your home;
  • It is important that the underfloor heating system can dissipate heat properly;
  • Use tap water sparingly.
