ᐅ Medium-term conversion from gas heating to heat pump heating?

As some of you may already know, we are currently building a house with a gas condensing boiler and solar energy on the roof. This is, as far as I understand, the minimum required by law so far (building location: Saxony). Due to recent developments and the possible increase in the resale value of our house, I would like to know what we should take into account now if the gas heating system later has to or should be converted to a heat pump heating system, hydrogen heating, or similar. We have underfloor heating and use tiles throughout the house.
For now, we will stick with the gas condensing boiler and solar energy, but we would like to prepare technically for an alternative. ("Photovoltaics are being prepared," although this might just be an empty conduit. I do not know the details.)

I also have to say that anyone who is still building with a gas heating system should not expect to start a thread next year complaining about the very high gas prices and the supposedly huge costs. Even before the current crisis, I couldn't understand that choice. From my personal point of view, one positive aspect of this whole disaster is that, hopefully, such technology will now become unattractive due to the prices.

In a few years, we will have more financial resources again to afford any necessary corrections. I would also like to observe the development of gas and electricity prices for a while first.

In a few years, we will also have more financial resources to afford making corrections. I would also like to observe the development of gas and electricity prices for a while longer. In my opinion, that is complete nonsense. I would address this issue with your company immediately.

Tell the construction manager/planner to put the brakes on first. (if you hadn’t locked the profile, we could check ourselves, but you’re not allowed to research in the last 1700 posts…).

But you are planning to size the underfloor heating for the heat pump, right?That’s questionable. “Costs definitely extra”!
