Hello everyone,

we are building with an air-to-water heat pump + photovoltaic system, etc. everything is already decided... 🙂

Now I have received an offer from the utility provider for the house connection.

Electricity + gas. Now the question for me is whether we should install a gas connection or not, since, at least for now, we don’t need it due to the air-to-water heat pump.

What was your decision here? Did you install gas despite having an air-to-water heat pump?

The cost for the gas connection is around 1,800€ (about 1,950 USD), which is quite a lot of money for me.

Best regards

If you already have a heat pump, you won’t switch back to gas. Why would you?
Cooking only with gas would still be possible, but it would be an absolute luxury. Because of connection fees and a base charge for the meter if you use a gas stove. So it’s not worth it.
