Hello forum members...
I'm reaching out here because we are somewhat desperate.
We purchased a new build at a fixed price with a detailed scope of work.
Our plot requires that the local utility company supplies the heating system, which we have to rent from them, etc. It’s inconvenient, but that’s how it is. This means that in the purchase contract, the heating system was excluded. So far, so good.
The part concerning the underfloor heating remains and will be installed. Unfortunately, in the section about the heating system that was removed, there is a crucial sentence that the builder’s installer is now referring to. It says, "The heating system will be connected with supply and return lines to the heating circuit manifolds. After the installation of the heating system and connection to the heating circuit manifolds, the underfloor heating will be filled."
The utility company does not do this. The installer now says that this is no longer covered by the house purchase and is sending us an additional cost offer.
This amount now totals 4,160€ (roughly $4,400). I just can’t believe this and am looking for expert opinions to tell me if this is a problem we have to accept and if the prices are realistic or not...
Thank you very much in advance...!
1 unit Flushing and initial filling of the heating system according to VDI 2035 – 340€
1 unit Drainage connections for floor drain and funnel trap – 187.33€
1 unit Additional heating for screed drying – 992.00€
1 unit Additional expansion vessel according to DIN EN 13831 – 154.00€
1 unit Connection of underfloor heating made of corrosion-resistant material including diffusion-tight insulation – 931.35€
1 unit Heating circuit pump group for supply of the underfloor heating and connection to the existing buffer tank – 891.47€

Heating the screed with an open door?A tilted window in the utility room is sufficient
