ᐅ Installation of a Gas Heating System in New Construction 2023/2024

Hello fellow home builders,

we have started constructing a single-family house. The approved building permit / planning permission includes a gas heating system, which we still want to install.

There are two possible scenarios:

1. What happens if the heating system is installed in October 2023, but the house is only inspected and approved in February 2024?

2. What happens if the heating system is installed in January 2024, and the house is inspected and approved in May 2024?

Both options are difficult to plan for. So far, we do not know whether the construction schedule might be delayed.
I haven't found any information on this. Do you have any further details?

Regards,
robert0815

This nonsense about climate hysteria will soon be over because no one is going along with it, and we are completely destroying our economy. Even I, as a strong opponent of the Green eco-fascists, am currently shocked by the extent of the mafia-like structures within the Graichen clan. The level of corruption there overshadows previous scandals. Habeck will not remain in office much longer. The Green Party’s approval ratings are in free fall, and the AfD is soon expected to reach second place nationwide. This gives hope.

That’s obviously sensationalist nonsense again.

Sure, sure!

Safety concerns about propane: Heating engineer warns of “highly explosive” heat pumps.

Then there is also the problem with refrigerants. Both the federal government and the EU are currently considering which refrigerants should be banned in the future. This could also mean the end for some heat pumps. Propane could serve as a replacement. However, Gentzen is cautious about this.

Reason: “Propane currently raises safety concerns.” He himself recently attended a refrigeration course to learn more and was surprised by the findings. “I underestimated the dangers,” admits the heating expert. The substance is “highly explosive,” he further explains. At the factory, he was told: “We expect houses to blow up, but we don’t have to put our label on it. Let others handle it first.”

So this isn’t coming from me, there are quite a few other critics as well.

Vonovia is also having problems with some of their heat pumps. And, who would have thought, the power grid capacity is far from sufficient.

Rental company Vonovia cannot connect 70 percent of its completed heat pumps to the electricity grid. How is that possible? And is this just a distraction tactic?

And the photovoltaic systems are not getting connected to the grid either. Why is that? Because there are insufficient grid infrastructures and grid access points. Or simply put: even though we have been paying some of the highest electricity prices in the world for many years, our electricity grid is outdated and in poor condition.
This is not nonsense but the harsh reality.

We don’t even have enough medication for our children anymore, because we spend money on almost everything else. But suddenly, when it comes to our children, there is a shortage. The main thing is that millions of vaccine doses are available. But there isn’t enough cough syrup or antibiotics. Although, according to green ideology, we don’t need children anymore anyway—they produce too much CO₂.

Are people all sick?

Germany is turning into the world’s idiot state. And at a horrifying pace.

What? Propane is explosive? Stop it!

All those propane gas cylinders for grills and campers. Used millions of times worldwide. EVERYTHING will blow up. Soon. No, now!

If only we had known that beforehand…

Really? Houses catch fire over a little propane? Incredible!

Better this way: A 55-year-old man was critically injured in a gas explosion in Twistringen (Diepholz district). He had inhaled from a camping gas cylinder and then lit a cigarette.

Honestly, I’m more “afraid” of neighbors like that who seem to be contenders for the Darwin Award.

And because comments like these from the "cold technology school" really annoy me:

1. This only applies if(!) the system is completely in-house.
2. How many kilograms of propane are we talking about? People store gas cartridges and cylinder bottles and grill endlessly. But as soon as a few grams circulate in a system, panic breaks out? I read something about 60 grams per kWh. I have more than that on a camping stove – and that’s in a metal can! This is complete nonsense!

I can only imagine the panic comes from their "specialized training": If you can easily handle propane/butane at home for grilling, what’s the problem with connecting a heat pump yourself?

Of course, this is complete nonsense, and anyone interested in a serious discussion can recognize and see through it. But that’s no longer the point; it’s only about confirmation, no matter how absurd the next headline might be. And if that’s not enough, the focus shifts to power grids and fever medicine, then to expensive cucumbers at Aldi. By the way, those are also doomed.

One headline after another, completely lacking substance but reinforcing opinions that the Western world is once again collapsing.
