Outsource bureaucracy – directly from the software
Craft businesses waste hours on funding applications, grid registrations, and energy performance certificates. This is time that could be spent on planning and installation. autarc takes over these tasks as Managed Services: Certified experts fully process KfW funding applications, energy performance certificates, grid connection applications, and oil tank disposals – directly from your ongoing project.
What are autarc Services?
autarc Services are external solutions that outsource the bureaucratic workload of heat pump and PV projects to certified experts. Instead of manually filling out forms, contacting authorities, and gathering documentation, businesses can launch the relevant service directly from their autarc project. Certified energy consultants and specialist partners handle the review, submission, and documentation, allowing you to focus entirely on installation and customer support.
What services does autarc offer?
1200+ companies rely on our software.
Why do grant applications cost skilled trades businesses valuable time?
Grant applications are time-consuming because each 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.
For a single application, SKH companies estimate half to a full working day – with 80 heat pumps per year, this adds up 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 sale, rental, or renovation. 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 workflow risks delays that can postpone project completion by weeks.

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

- Less administrative effort per project: Funding applications, grid connection registrations, and energy performance certificates are handled by certified experts. Installers can focus on what matters.
- No rejected funding applications due to missing documents: Certified energy consultants check every application for completeness before it is submitted to KfW.
- No project delays due to missing grid connection registrations or certificates: Grid connection registration and energy performance certificates run parallel to the installation, not afterwards.
