We are looking for a fireplace builder to install or build a fireplace for us.
The problem is that most sellers want to offer us a fireplace with at least 8 kW.
I have done some research, and a fireplace in a KfW house should have a maximum output of 4 kW.
It will only be used on weekends for a cozy atmosphere, maybe with a glass of wine.
Our main heating system will be a ground source heat pump.
Does anyone have recommendations for manufacturers or know any companies in the Rhine-Main area?
PS: Currently, the offers range from €5,500 to €20,000.
We want to spend a maximum of €7,000 for either a masonry fireplace or a kit.

It gets even worse when I add “just a little” fuel, the temperature is low, and the combustion doesn’t burn cleanly. But I believe that things will improve over the next few years.

We also have a fireplace, but it is not a built-in masonry one.
Therefore, like Sebastian, I recommend avoiding storage modules; with the house’s insulation, it acts as its own thermal storage.
It gets warm anyway... That’s why during transitional seasons, it’s perfectly fine to keep the underfloor heating turned off, which is an advantage. The real regulation is done by opening or closing the windows.

toxicmolotof28 Jun 2016 08:58I didn’t say that the stove should be operated at too low a temperature. At first, it needs to get reasonably hot, but after that, it’s enough to just add one piece of fuel, not two or three. And after 2 hours, the effect is gone anyway because the room reaches 26°C (79°F), no matter how you do it.
