Hello,

is it possible and practical to combine an air source heat pump with a hydronic fireplace?

Best regards

Nowadays, low-temperature heating systems are also installed with gas in single-family houses. Gas is simply more reliable. Whether or not there is a fireplace, possibly with a water jacket, does not make a difference in this case.

Here where I live, winter temperatures often stay around -10°C (14°F) continuously.
So, I’m asking about a practical solution. How effective is the idea of using a fireplace with a water heat exchanger for an outbuilding? I have 100m² (1076 sq ft) of outbuilding space.

Forget the heat pumps—they are not suitable for this at all. Go for a pellet heating system; it’s much more efficient and easier to operate. You can install an underground tank in the garden if there’s no room inside the house.

In that case, I would recommend a ground source heat pump. The water-carrying fireplace and the heat pump can conflict with each other. Maybe gas heating is better than a heat pump?

What costs should one expect for a ground source heat pump?

There are also companies that sell orgonite. Very expensive, but they claim it helps against electromagnetic pollution and that many people feel much better since having orgonite around...

"Orgonite is a fascinating object made from semi-precious stones, resin, and metal particles, known for its regenerative effects on the surrounding environment.

It is mainly used to combat electromagnetic pollution but also to raise the vibrational energy of a place or person, stimulating healing. We are talking about orgone energy, which transforms negative energies into positive ones.

This orgonite pyramid 'Protection & Cleansing' contains beautiful stones such as obsidian, labradorite, as well as lapis lazuli and clear quartz. It is a perfect set to protect your environment from negative energies, allowing the orgone energy to absorb this negativity and harmonize and cleanse your inner being."
