Hello everyone,
I have often wondered what typical “building mistakes” from the 2010s and 2020s will be seen as in a few decades. Would you like to speculate together?
I mean, in the 1970s, it was considered stylish and modern to cover bathroom walls with brown tiles all the way to the ceiling and combine them with sunny yellow sanitary ceramics. Back then, no one could have imagined that this would one day be regarded as unattractive.
Will vinyl flooring and laundry connections on the first floor be seen as typical but now outdated features of our time? Floor-to-ceiling windows? “Smokey eyes” (dark window tinting)? Which elements will make the next generation shake their heads and wonder about our questionable taste?

So my parents have had an air-to-water heat pump outside their house for many years...right in front of the kitchen window, and neither in the kitchen nor outside in the seating area in front of the house has it ever bothered me in terms of noise. The humming is even so subtle that I really have to focus to be able to tell whether it is humming at all or not.
I often take walks in new housing developments. Unfortunately, I frequently have to think: if I, being over 50, can still hear the buzzing of those boxes, how loud must it be for dogs?
Aside from the fact that I find it rather silly to put, frankly speaking, modified refrigerators in the front yard. They don’t bother me when they are behind large metal cabinets the size of trash bin enclosures attached to the outside wall – but as Karsten says, "simple, rugged, reliable" heating is possible too. Does a heating system really have to be a fashion statement, displayed prominently next to the electric car in front of the house?

Yes, the cheap units, including Rotex, do make a lot of noise. Fortunately, the newer systems are better and operate more quietly, with fewer low-budget models in use. However, there are many court rulings on this issue, as low-frequency noise easily penetrates houses.
The consequences can include sleep disturbances, and as everyone knows, that’s where the fun ends.

If it’s approved, it’s approved.In our case, no building permit / planning permission is required for that....Well, often there is hardly any choice. If gas has not been installed at all… or if the Greens and Greta almost force you to switch to a heat pump… I myself still prefer gas condensing boilers; they are simpler and less sophisticated, making them more rugged and reliable. However, one must admit that the circumstances are often different. In any case, I cannot find them to be noisy.
