Hello everyone,
A house was purchased 1.5 years ago. The heating and domestic hot water system consists of a solar panel system plus a water-bearing wood stove. A 1000L (265 gallon) water storage tank handles the heat storage.
Basically, this setup works well. However, on cold days without sun, if no one is at home to operate the stove, the water tank can only be heated using the electric heating element.
To save on electricity costs, we are now considering adding an additional heating system to cover those days.
Currently, a small air-source heat pump or a gas boiler (gas supply is available at the street) are being considered.
Who has experience regarding the effort, costs, and benefits of these options?
An initial offer for the heat pump is already available. Model:
OCHSNER EUROPA MINI IWP
Best regards

Now I’m getting lost.
- Do you have an existing system that you want to expand?
- Should the existing system be replaced?
- Are you building a new house and looking for a coherent heating concept?
???
A separate thread would be appropriate.
