ᐅ Gas or Heat Pump? Experiences and Feedback

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

Hey. After much back and forth, we have finally decided to go with the gas option. Additionally, we will use a water-based fireplace since we wanted to heat with a fireplace on cold days anyway.

Did you build a solid construction house? Sorry if I missed it when you already mentioned it!
Did you then add solar heating and underfloor heating to the gas heating?

We are still fully engaged in building our house.
The first floor is now complete, and tomorrow the ceiling will be installed.
Yes, we are building with solid construction, brick by brick.
Exactly, we will use solar power and heat the house through underfloor heating as well as a fireplace.
