Hello everyone,
We are currently facing the question of heating systems. Just recently, on Monday or Tuesday, there was a program where someone ended up paying a fortune for an air-to-water heat pump, which served more as a cautionary example ;(
Personally, I would prefer a geothermal heating system using probes, but this costs us 7,500 € more plus the drilling cannot be guaranteed at a fixed price due to the Kaarst rock formation. So either it works with the first drilling, or if we’re unlucky, we might have to pay even more.
Therefore, we are also considering an air-source heat pump, but unfortunately, you mostly hear negative things about this type of heating system. Are there any users who have this system and are satisfied with it, where the costs are reasonable or at least where they should be? I know it all depends on location, temperatures, etc., but there must be some practical experiences.
I think, first and foremost, one should have a reliable heating contractor who is knowledgeable about the type of heating system. I have a meeting on Tuesday with our heating installer who has already installed many air-source heat pumps.
He had already mentioned the Stiebel Eltron 16 Trend, which is said to be very good and also qualifies for subsidies.
It would be great to hear your opinions and experiences, even if this is yet another thread on the topic.

A friend of mine has a 7-year-old 160sqm (1,722 sq ft) house with an air-to-water heat pump (Nibe, Viebrockhaus KfW 40 standard, domestic hot water supported by 2 solar panels) and consumes about 50,000 kWh per year including household electricity. If I assume he uses 30,000 kWh for lighting, cooking, and electrical appliances (4 people), only 20,000 kWh are left for heating. The room temperatures are comfortable. Therefore, we are now building the same house with photovoltaic panels and are not (at least initially) worried about the electricity consumption.

I think there might be an extra zero in there.
oO? 20,000 kWh of household electricity? You could run 230 10W LEDs continuously all year round... that is 24/7 (10 W * 8,769 h / 1000 * 230).
I think something went wrong there.
Do you have everything connected to the household electricity meter, or do you have a separate one?
