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

Therefore, you shouldn’t simply assume that what works for you is the best solution for everyone.Wasn’t my second sentence that it depends on the local conditions?
That was a response to your generalizing statement.

Alexander381 May 2019 21:51Good evening everyone,
this is my first post in this very interesting forum, and I hope you can shed some light on our situation.
We started our house building project yesterday and will mostly manage it with the help of good friends and a relative who is a construction manager.
Now we face the difficult question of which heating system to choose for our house.
A gas system with solar panels has been recommended to us, but we would prefer to use renewable energy in the form of an air-to-water heat pump combined with photovoltaic panels.
However, the local heating installer advises against this and keeps referring to the gas heating as simpler and more reliable.
We know it’s hard to say in general which heating system is best, but is there really so much to be said against an air-to-water heat pump?
Of course, money is a factor, and we would probably lease or rent the photovoltaic system as well.
What are your experiences, and what would you lean towards?
We look forward to your answers.

boxandroof1 May 2019 22:09Have you read the previous posts? The best heating system is the one that suits you and your building project best.
Every heating system has its advantages and disadvantages.
My suggestion is that you do some research first and then come back with specific questions if needed.
My advice regarding your direct contacts and sources of information: don’t be discouraged, inform yourself, and then follow through with your own plan. You can carry out the implementation with someone who truly understands the respective technology. Our site managers, tradespeople, etc., all had their own opinions.

One thing is already clear: this installer should not install an air-to-water heat pump for you. He rejects these systems, likely has little experience with them, and does not attend any further training on the subject. An air-to-water heat pump is somewhat more complex if it is to heat efficiently without excessive electricity consumption. The reasons were explained earlier. K.
