At Vaanster, you always pay one month in advance. For example, in January, you pay for February, in February, you pay for March, and so forth.

Unlike before, we are now sending you an annual statement without a new advance payment amount for 2024.

First, we calculate your advance payment based on the actual rate of 2023. We use an average consumption in Gigajoules for this calculation. VAT is then calculated on this amount, which is the VAT amount you see on the advance invoice. VAT is calculated on the entire amount without a price cap, as regulated by the Government.

Then, we reduce the advance payment amount by the discount from the price cap. The price cap is exempt from VAT. This lower amount is what you see as the amount to be paid on the invoice.

You're probably wondering this because you're about to move into an energy-efficient home. Terms like gas-free or zero on the meter are often mentioned as well. These terms can sometimes be confusing regarding costs. What do they actually mean?

There is a malfunction in the heat supply. This is inconvenient, and you naturally want it resolved as soon as possible.

You suspect a fault in the supply of cold. That is annoying and, of course, you want it resolved as quickly as possible.

It is annoying when hot water does not come out of the tap. It is important to determine:

• Whether there is reduced hot water or no hot water at all.
• Whether there is no hot water coming from any faucet (also called tapping point) in the house or whether there is a single faucet from which there is no hot water.

With almost all thermostats, it is possible to set a program. This has the advantage that the temperature is automatically controlled by the thermostat after setting a program.

For (underfloor) heating systems that operate with low-temperature heat, it is advisable to keep the temperature as constant as possible. A low-temperature heating system requires time and a lot of energy to reach the desired temperature. By using a program on the thermostat, the interim adjustment of the temperature is limited.

On hot days, you can utilize free cooling, which is not metered. We've gathered some tips to help you optimize the use of cooling.
