ᐅ Air Source Heat Pump and Electricity Consumption

I’m not entirely convinced by the idea myself. In 10 years, you might have to wait another 5 years because everything has become more efficient and affordable. Then you would never be able to buy... Chimney – a stove is planned anyway.

My father recommends a gas condensing boiler, so that in 10 years we can install a more efficient alternative.

I wouldn't say 10 years right now, but rather wait until it breaks. Otherwise, it's just wasted money. Just plan the rest in a way that keeps all options open.

In my parents' house, it took 28 years, or it might even still be the same boiler, with only the surrounding parts having been replaced. In that case, it would already be 31 years old.

Well, if you know now what you want to do, everything is settled.

The only ones who might have somewhat reliable forecasts for energy prices are the energy companies and possibly (energy) commodity analysts at banks (and even they are limited by their sources). These groups will likely never reveal their insights. Everyone else uses their crystal ball and is surprised when, after a few years (depending on global economic growth trends), the situation suddenly shifts in the opposite direction.

Only the energy companies have a certain informational advantage. The bankers? Just look at their track record—and how often they needed government bailouts... Without fracking and the power plays of oil producers, the situation would look different right now. A breakthrough in fuel cell technology could also change everything again. And then there are the political influences...—so it’s complete fog in the crystal ball, except for the probable price increases. But which energy sources will rise in price and by how much? Again, a cloudy crystal ball...

The discussion here is mostly about heat pumps. But as far as I understand, there are different types of heat pump systems.
Does anyone here have an exhaust air heat pump?
