Hello everyone,
I will be building a house in 2021/2022 and will live in it myself. It’s a 10x10 meter (33x33 feet), 1.5-story standard single-family house. The roof is a pitched roof with a 40-degree pitch, ridge direction North/South (so the roof faces East/West and can be equipped with photovoltaic panels).
Now, my question: Gas is available in the area. Which heating technology would you recommend?
Gas? Air-source heat pump + photovoltaic + battery storage? Ground-source heat pump? Or something completely different?
And who can give me advice like this without any hidden profit motives (like heating installers always pushing gas, etc.)?
Regards,
Flo

The price. This is inevitably the driving factor for people. Understandable.
Politics needs to step in.
I don’t know how. But as long as climate protection is only affordable for wealthier individuals, it won’t help. It would be interesting to back this up with some numbers now.
I’m not very familiar with gas boilers and their prices, but you can get a Geisha heat pump for about 3000€ (approximately $3,200).
Even if a gas boiler were 1000€ (about $1,070) cheaper, I don’t think that covers the cost of installing a gas connection, does it?

But what exactly was the argument for a gas heating system over a heat pump again? - Heats better (turn up -> hot)
- The unit is quieter
- Doesn’t spoil my garden view
- For the same price as an air-to-water heat pump, I even have solar panels on the roof and free hot water all summer ...
- And the best part – together with mechanical ventilation, I also qualify for the KfW subsidy...

That seems to be your constant motto!
You act like the savior of the world here and put others down left and right in a shabby way, while at the same time using really blunt manners, only to then say: "Oops, I never meant it that way," I just wanted to joke around... You really are a nonsense person.

- heats better (turn up -> hot)Does the underfloor heating know that too? Or please tell me how I can teach that to the underfloor heating 😉 Gerddieter schrieb:
