Hello,
since I have heard a wide range of opinions and advice about heating from many sources beforehand, I wanted to ask a few questions to neutral readers.
The house will have roughly two full floors, each about 90 sqm (970 sq ft).
Regarding insulation, I am willing to invest a bit more if it leads to lower maintenance costs.
I understand that I will need a good energy consultant to calculate the final values, etc., but I want to be as well-prepared as possible.
Whether heating will be done with an air-source heat pump or district heating depends on the tariff for district heating—I hope to receive an offer soon.
At the site visit, the engineer responsible for the utility connections already suggested building the system so that the connection could possibly be replaced by a private heat pump. That seemed plausible to me.
However, everyone keeps talking about the necessity of underfloor heating, and if I remember correctly, solid wooden floorboards and underfloor heating don’t really go together—is that true? Or are there alternatives? I would like to have wooden floorboards, and a wall heating system seems rather impractical because of the wooden walls, which I do not want to cover.
Another suggestion I received from a different source (chimney sweep) was to install a wood stove with an air-flue chimney on each floor, produce hot water with a domestic water heat pump, and provide electric backup heating during the transition periods since there will be a photovoltaic system installed. The controlled ventilation combined with the thick insulation would ensure a comfortable temperature anyway.
Well, now here I am. Is this last concept really feasible and practical? Or does everyone just want to sell their preferred system?

The two wood stoves sound like something from the 1960s.Or from 2019.
