Hello experts,
one of many questions: What is more economical, an air source heat pump or a gas boiler? It’s just one of many points we hardly understand.
We were considering a photovoltaic system with an air source heat pump, but it seems clear that usually, the sun shines the least when you need heating the most.
Is the good old gas boiler actually more economical after all?
Thanks!

I would be concerned about an air source heat pump (air-to-air heat pump) because you can’t use underfloor heating with it. If I were to choose a heat pump, I would rather go for an air-to-water heat pump (air-to-water heat pump). As of today, the gas solution is probably the most cost-effective. But who knows what raw material prices will be in the future We have an air-to-air heat pump and underfloor heating................. why wouldn’t that work? It’s always nice and warm

Air-filled underfloor heating? How does that work technically?I don't think so... water is circulating and being heated by the pump.

Okay, I don’t believe that... water is circulating and we heat it with the pump Then it must be an air-to-water heat pump.
An air-to-air heat pump is basically a blower heater and only makes sense for very well-insulated houses. It is only cost-effective through savings on initial investment costs.
Air-to-water heat pumps are described above. Whether such a system is cost-effective depends on the specific conditions. For energy contracting companies that design their concepts accordingly, this type of heating can indeed make sense.
