DISCOVER THE REAL COSTS OF HEATING A MOBILE HOME WITH HEATFLOW FILMS
When buying a mobile home, heating is one of the most important considerations. In our SUPER ARKTIK mobile homes, we use Heatflow infrared films as the main heating source, which are installed in the walls or floor. They are highly efficient, heat up quickly, and provide pleasant, even heating.

H2: What is a Distribution Rate and Why is it Important for Heating with Heatflow Films
A distribution rate is part of the electricity price that affects the final amount on your bill. It includes fees for access to the distribution network, distribution, and transmission of electricity. Rates vary depending on the type of electricity usage and can be either single-tariff or dual-tariff.
How Distribution Rates are Designated in Slovakia
In Slovakia, the Regulatory Office for Network Industries (ÚRSO) sets different distribution rates for households. Starting July 1, 2025, the method for calculating fees will change, and households with smart metering may be categorized into various dual-tariff categories (e.g., D3, D4, D5, or D5–D9), which have both low and high tariffs.
Distributor vs. Electricity Supplier – What’s the Difference?
Distributor
A distributor is a company that manages the electrical network and the "wires" that bring energy to the consumer. The main distributors in Slovakia are:
-
Západoslovenská distribučná (ZSD)
-
Stredoslovenská distribučná (SSD)
-
Východoslovenská distribučná (VSD)
Supplier
A supplier is a commercial company from which you buy electricity. They set the price per kWh that consumers pay.
You do not choose your distributor—it depends on your location; however, you can change your supplier based on the price.
What is the Estimated Price of Electricity in Slovakia?
According to data from 2025, the average price of electricity for households in Slovakia is approximately 0.19 €/kWh (including distribution and fees).
This is an approximate price for electricity, including all components, useful for quick cost calculations.
How Much Will You Pay for Heating with Heatflow Films in a Mobile Home?
Heatflow films have a maximum output of 3.4 kW and work by running at full power until the desired temperature is reached, then shutting off.
Examples of Daily Consumption at Different Heating Times
-
6 hours of heating daily: 20.4 kWh
-
10 hours of heating daily: 34 kWh
-
12 hours of heating daily: 40.8 kWh
Estimated Heating Costs for a SUPER ARKTIK Mobile Home (Annual Example)
The most common question customers ask is: "How much will heating cost me annually?"
Therefore, here is an example calculation for the SUPER ARKTIK mobile home, where Heatflow films are the main source of heat.
Assumption: Cost Calculation for 6 Hours of Daily Heating (Electricity Price: 0.19 €/kWh)
-
Heating 6 hours a day
-
Electricity price: 0.19 €/kWh
-
Heating turned on 6 months of the year (October – March)
-
No heating for the other 6 months (April – September)
Calculation:
-
Daily cost:
20.4 kWh × 0.19 €/kWh = 3.88 € / day
-
Monthly cost (30 days):
3.88 € × 30 = ~116.4 € / month
-
Annual cost (6 months of heating):
116.4 € × 6 = ~698.4 € / year
-
Average monthly cost (for the whole year):
698.4 € / 12 = ~58.2 € / month
The estimated annual heating cost for a SUPER ARKTIK mobile home is approximately 698.4 €, which equals about 58.2 € per month.
Assumption: Cost Calculation for 10 Hours of Daily Heating (Electricity Price: 0.19 €/kWh)
-
Heating 10 hours a day
-
Electricity price: 0.19 €/kWh
-
Heating turned on 6 months of the year (October – March)
-
No heating for the other 6 months (April – September)
Calculation:
-
Daily cost:
34 kWh × 0.19 €/kWh = 6.46 € / day
-
Monthly cost (30 days):
6.46 € × 30 = ~193.8 € / month
-
Annual cost (6 months of heating):
193.8 € × 6 = ~1,162.8 € / year
-
Average monthly cost (for the whole year):
1,162.8 € / 12 = ~96.9 € / month
The estimated annual heating cost for a SUPER ARKTIK mobile home is approximately 1,162.8 €, which equals about 96.9 € per month.
Conclusion – Is Heating with Heatflow Films in a Mobile Home Beneficial?
Heatflow films are an efficient solution for fast and even heating in mobile homes, especially with good insulation and proper thermostat settings. By using dual-tariff rates (if a smart meter is available), where part of the consumption takes place during the cheaper low tariff, you can optimize costs.
With today’s estimated electricity prices in Slovakia (around 0.19 €/kWh), heating a mobile home with Heatflow infrared films can remain relatively inexpensive compared to other solutions—of course, depending on climatic conditions.
