Hi everyone, we are currently planning our housebuild quite intensively, and when it comes to choosing a heating system, we are considering using a heat pump. We have heard from friends that, in the long run, it can be more cost-effective because heating costs are reduced. However, these friends do not have one themselves yet; they are just thinking about it. What is your opinion on this? What should we consider? Would you recommend it? We are also thinking of getting advice soon from Vaillant, as they apparently have pretty good customer service. In general, I would appreciate any tips on this topic. Thanks in advance!
I can definitely imagine that the hydraulics and underfloor heating will be topics during the inspection appointment. I would definitely note that as a question to ask. If explanations come up automatically, even better. In any case, I’m happy for you that the first impression seems to have been positive. Now I hope the appointment goes as planned. I would think that something like this should always be possible, since with appointments—and probably also hygiene measures—it is certainly safer than takeaway queues and similar situations, but logical thinking can be tricky sometimes...
Thank you, it’s definitely noted! I won’t overlook this point. Honestly, I hadn’t thought about it and was actually focused on the device itself.
The on-site appointment is still quite uncertain as to when and how it will take place, as you already correctly pointed out. But fortunately, we’re not under too much pressure, so we can take a relatively relaxed approach. I consider the extra time a positive and meanwhile I’m doing some more research or trying to figure out the implementation. Still, of course, I hope we can reschedule the appointment soon.

@rdwlnts I must admit, I hadn’t considered the ring trench heat exchanger because it would have been difficult to install on our property at best. Thanks for bringing it up to the group.
@trx_type It’s certainly good that you’re not under too much pressure. I hope everything works out by mid-May at the latest. As I said, it’s hard for me to understand why it can’t be done right now. If you have any questions, I think you can contact customer service.

@cip&ciop thanks again! yes, it’s unfortunate that at the moment it’s not possible to meet in person for a consultation appointment, but these are the legal restrictions we have to accept... it’s annoying, yes, but there’s no point in getting upset about it. now we just hope that our appointment in two weeks can go ahead as planned, that would be great. I’m also glad that we’re not under too much pressure, but at least we want to finalize the planning sometime soon. the manufacturer company is definitely very committed, and we were also informed that we can call them by phone if any questions arise.

taschenonkel5 May 2021 16:20We are currently renovating our single-family home, built in 1982, aiming for a KFW-55EE or 75EE standard (still to be decided), and we are also considering which heating system to choose. Today, we received an offer from a local heating contractor for a ground source heat pump from Stiebel Eltron, just under 17 kW, including four boreholes, for a total of 62,000 EUR. About half of this cost is for the earthworks company, and the other half for the heating contractor.
I have not yet received comparison offers for the pellet system, but based on what I have read so far, I think (or rather hope) that it will be at least 20,000 EUR cheaper. Given the price difference, I believe we will go with the pellet system. We have approximately 240 m2 (2,583 sq ft) of living space (of which 160 m2 (1,722 sq ft) is underfloor heating) and 130 m2 (1,399 sq ft) of heated basement area. Currently, we consume about 35,000 kWh of heating oil per year and hope to reduce our heating demand to 20,000 kWh after the renovation (new windows and doors, attic and blown insulation).
