Hello,
I am currently thinking about the different heating systems and talked with my uncle yesterday, who works for a company that inspects heating installations.
I asked him about heat pumps. He said that for a single household they are generally not really cost-effective and take too long to pay off. The drilling required is quite expensive, and not every company has this type of equipment.
Is it even possible to install a heat pump everywhere? Or are certain ground conditions necessary?
He said that if he were to build again, he would choose a condensing boiler plus a solar system on the roof.
What are your thoughts?
Best regards

We have a Wolf condensing boiler with 2 solar panels.
The Wolf fits on our low attic even with a 300-liter (79-gallon) storage tank that is just under 1.60 meters (5 feet 3 inches) tall – so it takes up almost no space.
The controls can even be operated later from any living area.
The flue system is made of plastic and is less than one meter (3 feet 3 inches) long overall.
