I’m supposed to pay just over €500 for my 3sqm (32 sq ft). Is that expensive or reasonable for house construction? I’ve lost a healthy perspective on money during the build. For me, €500 would be worth it. Moss pictures cost more per square meter (square foot) ... but they are also more decorative ... 🙂 (and not comparable ...)With or without plaster?
You have to weigh cost against benefit. Mechanical ventilation with heat recovery offers a completely different kind of advantage.
I also have wall heating in the bathrooms, which feels more comfortable.
But throughout the whole house… €20,000–30,000 (about $22,000–33,000) in costs to save €50 (about $55) per year on heating and barely any other benefits.
People usually prefer to invest their often limited funds in more meaningful things, like mechanical ventilation, external blinds, kitchen, and so on.

Outside the bathroom, it is also impractical because you have to think carefully and measure precisely before drilling a hole in the wall or driving in a nail. However, outside the bathroom, the required heating output per m² (square meter) is usually much lower, so it doesn’t make a huge difference to cover the walls with heating there.
The main advantage I see is a warm bathroom without an ugly ladder radiator.

So, I achieve a supply temperature of 29°C (84°F) and an annual performance factor of 5 with an air-to-water heat pump for the wall heating system. This is unbeatable in terms of cost and efficiency.
But of course, if you have the wall heating installed by a company, that’s a completely different story. It always depends on the individual case.
My colleague from the engineering office Heckmann, who did the system design for me, specializes in these kinds of plans that you can then present to contractors.
Plaster costs me 350 euros more because of the additional 15m² (160 sq ft). Wall heating materials cost 200 euros. Labor takes 16 hours.

By saving costs on the shell construction, I hired the local Bulgarian contractor to finish the ceilings on the upper floor (drywall) and the ground floor (concrete skim coat) for €2500 plus materials.
He has already installed the vapor barrier so that plastering can begin next week. He insisted on sealing the membrane to the masonry with adhesive and sealing tape.
