ᐅ Installation of a Gas Heating System in New Construction 2023/2024

Hello fellow home builders,
we have started constructing a single-family house. The approved building permit / planning permission includes a gas heating system, which we still want to install.
There are two possible scenarios:
1. What happens if the heating system is installed in October 2023, but the house is only inspected and approved in February 2024?
2. What happens if the heating system is installed in January 2024, and the house is inspected and approved in May 2024?
Both options are difficult to plan for. So far, we do not know whether the construction schedule might be delayed.
I haven't found any information on this. Do you have any further details?
Regards,
robert0815

I think "contractor" means something different here.
It’s about the supply, not the installation.
So more like district or local heating where the technical equipment is rented from the supplier. Something similar to the neighboring thread.
Possibly, in multi-family housing construction, there are cases where the major landlord completely outsources the heating supply. That’s true, that could very well be the case. I hadn’t thought of that at all. You see this quite often with housing cooperatives.

Nothing will surely happen before the summer break, and then it will already be September. Who knows if it will even be approved this year.
And as it currently stands in the draft, it won’t be approved either.
The infrastructure in the high-tech country Germany has been underfunded to the point of failure. In my village, there is no gas network, and the power lines are rather weak as well. A photovoltaic system of more than 30 kWp will not be approved. If everyone starts using heat pumps and electric vehicles, the cables of the electrical grid will overload. But then they can just shut off the power.

Makes sense. That is of course clear. But the original poster asked, and in that or a modified form it will definitely come up. I just provided the information that the design offers, as well as my assessment. The decision ultimately has to be made by the original poster. At the moment, the design would not have majority approval.
Therefore, my assessment is that any thoughts about it are pointless.
Still, I would not install a gas heating system right now because I find the situation too unpredictable.
And since I am satisfied with my heat pump, using less than 2000 kWh per year is simply great.
One should also keep in mind that in 20 years, it will probably be difficult to find replacement parts and heating technicians who are really knowledgeable about these systems. You want to operate a heating system for as long as possible.
You also save yourself the gas connection, which always poses a certain risk. There are also savings on chimney sweep fees.
Overall, you will likely save a significant amount of money with a heat pump compared to a gas heating system. Many people tend to think too short-term.

I don’t really agree about the availability of parts and technicians. On the contrary, so many people will still have gas heating repairs done that parts will likely be available for a long time.
You won’t save on chimney sweep costs either. The government will probably introduce mandatory inspections for heat pumps, and chimney sweeps are already being trained for this. You don’t seriously think they’ll put the "gods in black" out of work, do you?

You also avoid the gas connection, which always carries a small risk. Additionally, you save on chimney sweeping costs.
