Hello everyone,
we are planning a prefabricated house using timber frame construction. It will have 180 sqm (1,937 sq ft) of living space with underfloor heating, and about 230 sqm (2,475 sq ft) of usable area.
So far, the offer included an air-to-water heat pump from Daikin (Altherma 3R, formerly Rotex HPSU compact Ultra).
Now it seems that this unit might not have enough capacity (?) and as an alternative (additional cost around 4,000) we have been offered a "Wolf heat pump CHC Monoblock 10/300-35".
The Daikin is available in the 4-9 kW version—would that really be insufficient for this size? And what do you think about this offer?
I have the energy-saving regulation heat protection certification and a renewable energy heat law document available, if any information from those is needed.
Thank you very much!
Best regards

I have no idea what the energy consultant calculated or what the heating engineer used from those calculations as a basis for my system design.I don’t really care, I just want him to agree to the small heat pump now. 🙂 Let’s see what Vaillant suggests for my needs. As long as it stays with the Arotherm plus, it can only be the 75 model, due to eligibility for subsidies. My heating engineer is also not very keen on installing split units, since he wants to switch to R290 refrigerant in the future.

Both 16mm (0.63 inches) or 17mm (0.67 inches) can be suitable; it also depends on the calculation.
