Hello everyone,
We are currently planning our house and, like many others, are trying to decide on the right heating system.
The construction site is in Herrischried (880 m (2880 ft)) in the Hotzenwald area, so there is a lot of snow and it gets quite cold in winter.
I am considering an air-to-air heat pump supported by a solar or photovoltaic system with a battery storage (a controlled ventilation system will be installed), but is this a good solution?
Since we don’t want gas/liquefied petroleum gas (there is no gas supply even on the street), oil, or pellets, we need an efficient and economical alternative.
I am quite overwhelmed by all the information I have read and by what various building consultants say about what would be better. I’m not sure if they are just trying to sell me their products.
Thanks in advance for your answers.
Best regards,
Michael

Due to certain family connections, I know that there are freight forwarders specializing exclusively in Christmas tree stands. But sofas ...?

As mentioned before, an energy demand calculation would be useful to roughly estimate what you might need.
Personally, I would be cautious about using an air-to-air heat pump—these pure air heating systems, in my opinion, only work efficiently in passive houses.
It’s different with an air-to-water heat pump—we have had very good personal experience with this type. Combined with a photovoltaic system, we expect to achieve very low heating and domestic hot water costs already in the first year.

Dirk

Kawafighter7 Sep 2015 20:55The idea was to become self-sufficient with the photovoltaic system (5 kWp) plus storage. With controlled ventilation and a stove, there should be no heating costs other than wood. I will take a look at the air-to-water heat pump; according to the description, we should be able to get that as well in the combination.
Best regards, Michael
