Hello everyone,
We are planning a new build with approximately 190 sqm (2,045 sq ft), two stories, without a basement. The attic, about 65 sqm (700 sq ft), will be converted to include a bathroom and a storage room. The house will have a brick veneer exterior and will be built according to the energy-saving regulations. It is for a household of five people (2 adults + 3 children).
A mechanical ventilation system with heat recovery and KNX home automation are planned (if the budget allows, specifically for the KNX).
Once the house is completed, I would like to add solar thermal and photovoltaic systems after a few years.
I’m having trouble deciding between gas heating or a heat pump.
The gas connection costs me €2,500.
Could you help me make this decision?
And which manufacturer would you recommend?
Thanks!!!
Regards

General contractor or architect? Do it yourself or have it done?
Installing photovoltaics right away along with a heat pump is best, if the conditions are right. - EL – separate trades (negotiations with the shell builder are almost complete)
- I would go ahead with photovoltaics directly, provided the costs don’t skyrocket for me. Approximately how much would that cost?
Which heat pump manufacturer?
EL refers to self-performed work – for example, installing ground source heat pump collectors yourself, or setting up and connecting an air-to-water heat pump on your own.
The manufacturer of the heat pump is not that important. If a heating installer does the work, you have to use whatever brand they offer. Given the current market situation, you can’t really choose between five different options anyway.
The cost of photovoltaic systems varies depending on where you live, roughly 1000–1200 € net per kWp (kilowatt-peak). However, the cost of the photovoltaic system is irrelevant because the feed-in tariff and savings more than cover the additional loan costs.

The heat pump manufacturer does not matter much. If a heating engineer does the installation, you have to use what they recommend anyway. You can’t really choose between five different options with the current market situation.

He prefers Buderus.
Photovoltaics as flat plate collectors, correct?
