Then I would also like to introduce our building project here and keep you updated.
First, a brief introduction about us. He (42.5 years; controller in healthcare), she (38.5 years; full-time teacher), child (8.75 years; fully dependent). Our household net income is currently about €6,400 (approximately $6,800) plus performance bonuses, 13th-month salary, overtime, etc. We own a 1,462 sqm (15,735 sq ft) plot of land in Fichtenwalde. The remaining debt on the land is €37,000 (about $39,000). According to official land value guidelines, the land is valued at €146,200 (about $156,000) (€100 / sqm). The market price is around €400,000 to €600,000 (recent sale prices). We submitted the building permit application including the land conversion at the end of December. We expect approval by mid to late July.
The construction company is KB Brandis from Jüterbog. External site supervision will be handled by Bauherrenhilfe with 13 appointments.
Now about the house. It will be a 144 sqm (1,550 sq ft) bungalow plus a 12 sqm (130 sq ft) covered terrace with the following additions:
- Ceiling height 3.00 m (9.8 ft)
- Electric roller shutters (including smart home integration)
- Double-sided laminated windows (wood-colored; RC3 security rating)
- Brine-to-water heat pump with ground collectors due to water protection area (Bosch Compress 7800i LW)
- Hydraulic balancing of the underfloor heating
- Controlled residential ventilation with heat recovery (Bosch)
- Motion detectors from a security company
- 13 kWp photovoltaic system, including battery preparation
- 10 m³ (2,650 gal) cistern for rainwater use
- Doorbell with video function
- Wallbox preparation for electric vehicle charging
- Exterior lighting
Floor plan attached.
We have not yet finalized financing (although discussions have taken place). So far, we have invested up to €30,000 (approximately $32,000) from our own savings during the planning phase. This is almost all of our equity. However, we continue to save about €2,750 (approximately $2,920) per month. The monthly mortgage payment is expected to be around €1,650 (about $1,750) plus additional costs of approximately €200-250 (about $210-265) (taking into account the photovoltaic system). This means when we move into the house, we will still have savings of at least €1,500 (about $1,590) per month.
The construction contract will be signed within the next few weeks. The prices (recently discussed with the company) correspond to the offer and commitment as of September 2020.
The price per square meter of the house (according to the latest offer and full specification) will be €2,700 (about $2,870). This includes everything, such as painting, flooring, etc. The overall costs are structured as follows:
House: €378,000 (about $402,000)
Land conversion including reclassification: €25,000 (about $26,600)
Additional building costs: €40,000 (about $42,500)
Outdoor facilities: €25,000 (about $26,600)
Total financing volume: €468,000 (about $498,000)

I need to ask about that. What materials are your wall and ceiling assemblies made of?
Because when I turn on the fireplace, the temperature rises by 2 degrees and that’s it. Really comfortable in winter. The sand-lime brick walls and concrete ceiling absorb the energy well. Bungalow, exterior walls 17.5 Poroton with 20 cm (8 inches) insulation, interior walls 11.5 cm (4.5 inches) sand-lime brick.
When I said it got warm, I meant an increase of 2 to 3 degrees. And that with 2 kW.

You must be talking about me? How can 2 kW of heating output "blast"? Obviously, you don’t understand how a water-based fireplace works. Out of the 10 kW heating output, the system charged 8 kW into the 1000-liter (265-gallon) buffer storage and only delivered 2 kW to the room.
At least you chose Spartherm, which is a quality manufacturer, but a nominal output of 7 kW would have been clearly too much for ME. You could have made a better decision. Of course, that would have been more expensive. I mean that you don’t know or didn’t know the difference between a fireplace and a storage fireplace. But the main thing is to complain first...

I think you are not familiar with the difference between a fireplace and a storage fireplace. But first of all, complaining... Now I would like to hear your explanation.
Even if you accuse me of ignorance... I was proactive enough to install a better system.

Good. Then you did everything right and can continue posting in your thread...Please explain to us the difference between a fireplace and your masonry heater.Hausbau 55 schrieb:

When I said it got warmer, I meant an increase of 2 to 3 degrees. And that with 2 kW. Understood. The drywall ceiling, for example, hardly absorbs any heat.
Thank you. My wood stove produces 4.5 kW over 8 hours.
That means I put in about 10–11 kg (22–24 lbs) of wood at once, let it burn for 2–3 hours, and the rest of the heat is gradually released.
