Outsource administrative tasks – directly from the software

Tradespeople lose hours dealing with funding applications, grid registrations, and energy performance certificates. This is time that is then unavailable for planning and installation. autarc takes over these tasks as Managed Services: Certified experts fully handle KfW funding applications, energy performance certificates, grid registrations, and oil tank disposals – directly from the ongoing project.

What are autarc Services?

autarc Services are external services that outsource the bureaucratic effort surrounding heat pump and PV projects to certified experts. Instead of manually filling out forms, contacting authorities, and gathering evidence, businesses can start the respective service directly from their autarc project. Certified energy consultants and specialist partners handle the review, submission, and documentation. You can focus on installation and customer care.

1200+ companies rely on our software.

Why do grant applications cost trades businesses valuable time?

Grant applications are time-consuming because each application requires technical documentation, correct forms, and coordination with a certified energy consultant – tasks that fall outside the core competence of an installation company. KfW funding 458 for heating system replacement requires, among other things, cost estimates, building data, and performance certificates for the new heating system. If a document is missing or information is incorrect, the application will be rejected. 

SKH companies estimate half to a full working day for a single application. With 80 heat pumps per year, this accumulates to weeks of pure administrative work.

Why do grid registrations and missing energy performance certificates delay projects?

Grid registrations and energy performance certificates delay projects because they are often only addressed after installation. Grid registration is legally required before a heat pump or PV system can be commissioned. The energy performance certificate is required for sales, rentals, or renovations. Both processes require specific forms, technical data, and coordination with grid operators or energy consultants. Anyone who does not integrate these steps into the project timeline risks delays that can postpone project completion by weeks.

Create energy performance certificate

Text Medium Emphasized - Reference to number aboveText Medium Emphasized - Reference to number aboveText Medium Emphasized - Reference to number aboveText Medium Emphasized - Reference to number aboveText Medium Emphasized - Reference to number above

Energy performance certificates are created directly in the software. Certified energy consultants calculate the energy performance indicators according to DIN V 18599 and the Building Energy Act, check plausibility, and issue the legally valid demand-based energy performance certificate. The certificates are valid for 10 years.
