Hello!
We are planning to have a house built and are currently still in the initial planning phase. However, after a conversation with the architect, we are already considering heating options.
We are not building a KfW-certified house, but one strictly following the Energy Saving Ordinance. It will have about 220m² (2,368 sq ft) of living space plus a basement.
In various building specifications from contractors (we are having a turnkey build), we often see heat pumps that require an additional outdoor unit beside the system in the utility room. For aesthetic reasons, we are not very keen on that.
What alternatives are there for this kind of setup?
Gas heating combined with solar (the gas connection is available)?
Geothermal heat pumps?
Or other air-to-water heat pumps that do not require an outdoor unit?
We will probably have a hipped roof (with regard to solar panels). With a flat roof, the panels look quite unattractive.

The attractiveness of a property
is less influenced by the type of heating system and hot water supply than by the type of radiators. That is, if you say "gas heating," I find that modern. If you say "radiators," I would counter that (mostly or entirely) underfloor heating is now considered the standard,It always depends. Personally, I find underfloor heating (slow to respond) to be the worst option for children’s rooms or bedrooms. That’s why we prefer our "radiators."

If you say "radiators," I would respond that (fully or predominantly) underfloor heating is now considered the standard, and "less modern" types will, within a few years, significantly lower the market value of the entire property—especially in otherwise "upmarket" finishes. We currently have underfloor heating and find it very sluggish. It takes forever to adjust the temperature. Especially during weeks with large outdoor temperature fluctuations, it becomes quite uncomfortable. The underfloor heating always lags behind.

Gable roofs are almost becoming the more exclusive option again (in the sense of "you don’t see them eighteen times on the same street"). We also like gable roofs much better. Unfortunately, they are not allowed due to height restrictions and because we absolutely want two full stories.

Gable roofs do not differ in their pitch from hip roofs, but instead are characterized by a ridge running along the roof with vertical gable ends on both sides, whereas hip roofs have no vertical ends and only sloped sides. The range of possible roof pitches is generally the same for both types.

Sascha_aus_H4 Jun 2017 17:49And I don’t know a single person who would want to replace their underfloor heating system, myself included. So making a general statement might be difficult...
