Hello everyone,
we are currently in the construction phase. Initially, we planned to install a gas condensing boiler with solar panels, but now our builder has suggested that a ground-source heat pump with deep drilling might also be interesting. He has a quote that is only 4,000 euros (€) more expensive, including the drilling.
Now my questions are:
- What are the approximate costs for the permit (building permit / planning permission)?
- Is that price even possible, or did I misunderstand something regarding the drilling?
- I have often heard that there is some risk involved with the drilling, especially regarding liability for potential damages, etc.
Otherwise, regarding running costs, I actually see the advantage with the ground-source heat pump.
I hope you can help me with my questions. Thanks.

Although it doesn’t make much sense since the contractor already had one, business has to keep going...
It’s called a procedure-independent insurance and costs just under 300 euros.

Costs that arise if the drilling company needs to drill more extensively are not covered by this. It depends on the wording in the quotation.
I would also check whether his statement of "only €4,000 (about $4,400)" already includes the subsidy and the missing connection costs for gas.
