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

Several had to be replaced after only 12-15 years, with 60% of the units in our row already renewed. This is also a cost factor if you have to buy twice. Were they more durable in the past?

Solar thermal systems needed as additional costsNot necessarily if a mechanical ventilation with heat recovery system is installed.B

Air-to-water heat pump. Now a proven technology. Relatively high space requirement in the utility room. Regarding the space requirement, it depends. Compared to gas systems with a storage tank for solar thermal, this generally applies only to special solutions such as combined ventilation units or air-to-water heat pumps without an outdoor component. In our utility room, there is only a 200-liter (53-gallon) storage tank with a base area of about 70x70 cm (28x28 inches) plus a few pipes attached to the wall. The frequently used split units with integrated storage tanks are also not very large.
