Hello everyone!
Would the following be a reasonable consideration:
If I invest in geothermal energy (deep drilling or shallow geothermal), I might not necessarily need to build to the KfW-55 standard; KfW-100 might be sufficient because I can access heat energy very efficiently and cost-effectively, so the potential savings from better insulation, etc., are not as significant anymore.
If I invest in KfW-55, I don’t need geothermal energy because my heating demand is already low, and I can use heat sources that tend to be less efficient or more expensive to operate (gas boiler with solar thermal or air-to-water heat pump).
So, in short: either ensure a good heat source or aim for low heating demand. (The savings potential from combining both is rather limited.)
Best regards

I would try typing "Hark" into Google and let yourself be influenced by the many experiences shared. There are plenty of fireplace builders, but I’m skeptical whether any of them would install these stoves here for a very low fee.I don’t quite understand that right now. 😕I'm not surprised, as this post doesn't belong in this discussion at all. :-) I really have NO idea where I clicked that caused it to appear here. Very, very strange. :-) Now I need to find the post about Hark stoves and the missing (or rather "unsuitable") installation instructions, as well as the search for a stove fitter who would be willing to install this (in my opinion, low-quality) stove for a low price.
