ᐅ Manufacturer Recommendation: Air-to-Water Heat Pump + Central Ventilation System

Hello,

After a few detours, we are now heading toward starting construction in August 2022... The house will have 160sqm (1,722 sqft) of living space without a basement. The ceilings will be dropped. We are aiming for KfW 40 or 40+ standard.

We will probably build with a general contractor but might subcontract some trades ourselves if something doesn’t immediately meet our expectations.

We visited a building trade fair again over the weekend... The heating installers all preferred to install their “house brand” manufacturer.

We definitely want a modulating heat pump and a central ventilation system with heat recovery and an enthalpy heat exchanger.

Which manufacturers should we consider? We prefer to invest a bit more upfront for an efficient and durable unit.

At the fair, we were very impressed with Vaillant. However, the brand name on the devices doesn’t really matter to us — reliability and efficiency are the priority.

If any further information is needed, just let us know.

Thanks in advance

The heat pump has just stopped working... I wanted to inquire with the city about the possibility of a geothermal borehole – there will be a mandatory connection to the local biogas district heating network… Well done

Then you are completely dependent on their pricing... doesn’t sound good. 😳

Could also vomit right away... Once the subsidy for biogas expires, it will get expensive... No idea if KfW 40EE is achievable.

Unfortunately, there are no options... have been waiting for a plot of land for 3 years...
