Hi everyone,
Since my construction project is now nearing completion, I would like to focus on choosing the right heating system for my house.
The energy-saving regulation confirmation for KfW 70 has been completed.
Now I would like to get advice from a professional about the right heating system. Since we do not have a gas connection and pellets or wood are not an option for me, the heat pump is basically the only choice left for our house. The area to be heated is about 110-120m² (1,185-1,292 sq ft).
Over the past two weeks, I visited three heating companies, and each offered me a different system. Therefore, I would like to hear the opinion of an expert. I have read a lot about heat pumps being quite inefficient, but I understand this can definitely depend on the selection of the entire system components. I want to avoid making a mistake here, as I have many questions in mind.
-Air-source heat pump or ground-source (geothermal)?
-How to heat domestic hot water (separately or with the heat pump)?
-Buffer tank?
-Additional electric heating element?
-Photovoltaic system?
Surely someone here has experience with a competent consultant or is a professional themselves and can answer my questions.
PS: I can upload the documents for the energy-saving regulation proof if needed.
I’m looking forward to hearing some experiences or recommendations from experts.
Best regards,
Kai
