- If the lease is terminated or the house is sold, you can fill out the form on the page move out. Under Who fills out this form? choose I am filling out the form for a deceased family member/acquaintance.
How can I (financially) sustainably use my heat installation?
- We recommend not changing the desired room temperature. If you have underfloor heating, it may take 8-10 hours before the room temperature can be adjusted to the requested temperature if you change the desired room temperature. Going from a low room temperature to a high room temperature will cost extra power. Therefore, we recommend leaving the thermostat at a constant temperature;
- Try not to leave windows and doors open unnecessarily to avoid heat/cold loss;
- The balance 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, so do not install insulating floor on top of the underfloor heating;
- Handle tap water sparingly.
Are there now (or soon) any works on the system?
In case of scheduled servicing or updates about malfunctions, we will post a news item on the page Malfunctions. If work is going to be carried out in your street or neighbourhood which might interrupt delivery to you, we will inform you in advance.
What is a heat pump?
A heat pump is a device we use to extract heat from the ground or from the air. This heat can in turn be used to heat water, for example. A heat pump actually works like an inverted refrigerator. Instead of cooling, it uses the temperature difference from the groundwater to heat.
What is a delivery system?
A delivery system is similar to a gas or electricity meter box. This is because heat and cold is transferred to your home via the delivery system. A heat meter and a hot water meter also measure the heat absorbed in the delivery system. The installation in your home that heats and/or cools the home and the hot tap water pipes are connected to this delivery set. On the document page vindt u een handleiding en instructie hoe u op de digitale verbruiksmeter bij de afleverset uw verbruik van warmte en warm tapwater kan uitlezen.
Bij het project Tuvista in Delft en in Ypenburg zijn de woningen niet voorzien van een afleverset. Hier wordt de benodigde verwarming, koeling en warmte voor het warm tapwater opgewekt door een (gehuurde) warmtepomp per woning.
What should I pay attention to if I have underfloor heating?
If you have underfloor heating, make sure when choosing a floor covering that it lets heat through easily. You should definitely not cut, mill, screw or nail into the floor. This will damage the underfloor heating and may cause leakage. Do you want to use glue? Then only use a product that is suitable for underfloor heating.
Not all types of floor covering are suitable for underfloor heating. If the thermal resistance (Rc value) of the floor covering is less than 0.9 m2 K/W, the floor covering is suitable. Therefore, always ask your supplier how high the Rc value of the floor covering is. Preferably choose a hard floor covering with a low insulation value, such as tiles, natural stone or linoleum. Cork is not suitable for underfloor heating. Wood, parquet or laminate is usually also suitable, but some wood types are not. Ask your supplier what the possibilities are.
Where can I find the Terms and Conditions?
The Terms and Conditions can be found on the page documents.
What is the privacy policy of Energiek?
Our privacy policy can be found on this page.
Can I also conclude an electricity contract with Energiek?
No, unfortunately that is not possible. Energiek only provides sustainable heat and cold supply.
Questions about Het Zamen
What do the items on my year-end statement mean?
The maximum rates are set annually by the Consumer & Market Authority (ACM). Hereby an explanation of the rates for 2023:
- Heat consumption: The heat that you have consumed to heat up your home.
- Hot water usage: The heat that has been applied to heat up the hot water you have consumed.
- Rent delivery system: The rental of the delivery set. The delivery set is the installation needed to bring the hot water from the Aquifer thermal energy storage (ATES) safely to the indoor installation for space heating and/or domestic hot water preparation.
- Measuring rate: Costs for measuring your heat consumption. This is achieved by measuring the inflow and outflow of heat in your home with a calibrated meter. The difference is the heat output measured in m³ (hot water) or GJ (heat).
- Standing charge heat: Fixed fee for the provision of cooling.
- Standing charge cold: Fixed fee for the provision of cooling.
How can I read my heat meter / hot water meter?
You do not need to report your meter readings to us. We can digitally read the energy meter remotely. You can also find the readings and your consumption in the customer portal on a monthly basis.
NB - Only the initial reading on moving in (for the Supply Agreement) and the final reading on moving out (for the Relocation Form) need to be signed and submitted on the date. This will be requested in the documents you send to us.
You will find the energy meter manual, as well as all other important documents, on the pages under Documents.
Heat in the winter and cooling in the summer. What does that entail?
In the winter, we extract heat from the pumped-up groundwater. This is done with a heat pump. We use this heat to heat the houses. In summer, we do not extract heat from the pumped-up groundwater, but cold. We use it to cool your home.
The heat or cold is transferred to your home via your delivery system. It is not possible to cool and heat your home at the same time. In addition, the cooling is only made available when it gets warmer outside, which is when you need cooling.
I have difficulty with (correctly) heating my home. What do I do?
First check that the thermostat is set sufficiently high. Then check whether the delivery set has voltage and/or is not malfunctioning. If you cannot solve the problem yourself, please contact us via vragen@inwarmte.nl or +31 (0)85 - 401 50 65.

Is there provision of cooling at the moment?
Gedurende de zomer wordt er koeling geleverd. Deze wordt centraal ingeschakeld. Aan het begin van de lente wanneer de koeling weer aangaat melden wij dit aan u via e-mail. Ook krijgt u een mail aan het eind van de zomer wanneer de koeling uitgeschakeld wordt. Is de koeling uitgeschakeld dan ontvangt u vanaf die dag dus geen koeling meer. Stel daarom uw thermostaat vanaf die dag zo in dat u geen koeling meer vraagt. Als deze namelijk nog koeling vraagt terwijl dit niet geleverd wordt kan de afleverset in storing schieten. Woont u aan de Hertzogstraat dan wordt uw woning verwarmd door middel van radiatoren. Hiermee kan echter geen koeling aan de woning afgegeven worden. U beschikt daarom dan ook niet over een aansluiting op ons koelnet en kunt uw woning dus niet koelen.

In summer, we do not extract heat from the pumped-up groundwater, but cold. We use it to cool your home.

In addition, the cooling is only made available when it gets warmer outside, which is when you need cooling

Questions about Tuvista and Ypenburg
What do the items on my year-end statement mean?
The maximum tariffs are set annually by the Consumer & Market Authority (ACM). The Heat Act does not apply to the heat pump rental. The amount of this rent is set by the developer/landlord of your property in consultation with Energiek. Herewith an explanation of the tariff items:
- Rent heatpump: The costs we charge for renting the heat pump system
- Standing charge source heat: Fixed fee for the provision of source heat.
- Standing charge source cold: Fixed fee for the provision of source heat.
How can I read my heat meter / hot water meter?
You do not have a heatmeter since you generate your own heat with the rented heat pump. Thus, no variable heat supply is charged to you.
Heat in the winter and cooling in the summer. What does that entail?
Heat and/or cold is extracted from the ground via a closed heat exchanger in the ground. This source heat and cold is made available to the heat pump system in your home. When you choose to heat the home, the heat pump system obtains heat from the closed soil loops and delivers this heat at a higher temperature to your home. This is also done to heat the domestic hot water. If you choose to cool the home, the heat pump system draws cold from the closed soil loops.
I have difficulty with (correctly) heating my home. What do I do?
First check that the thermostat is set sufficiently high. Then check whether the heat pump has voltage and/or is not malfunctioning. You can check the manuals on the documents page. If you cannot solve the problem yourself, please contact us via vragen@inwarmte.nl or +31 (0)85 - 401 50 65.
