ᐅ New Single-Family Home Construction – Gas or Air Source Heat Pump + Photovoltaic System + Energy Storage?

Hello everyone,
I will be building a house in 2021/2022 and will live in it myself. It’s a 10x10 meter (33x33 feet), 1.5-story standard single-family house. The roof is a pitched roof with a 40-degree pitch, ridge direction North/South (so the roof faces East/West and can be equipped with photovoltaic panels).
Now, my question: Gas is available in the area. Which heating technology would you recommend?
Gas? Air-source heat pump + photovoltaic + battery storage? Ground-source heat pump? Or something completely different?
And who can give me advice like this without any hidden profit motives (like heating installers always pushing gas, etc.)?
Regards,
Flo

Edit: No, wait. I should stay objective.
So: do you have any scientist who supports your position that "gas is still somewhat acceptable"?

We will first talk to both neighbors to see if they might potentially be disturbed by an air-to-water heat pump or not.
The general contractor (or the commissioned heating engineer) installs only Vaillant equipment. We will also get the controlled residential ventilation system from Vaillant. We don’t have any key data yet, such as heating load calculations, so we will need to inquire about or commission those.

Deliverer17 Oct 2021 19:42Yes. The new units are quiet. Most importantly, they comply with current noise emission limits. You should make sure that you don’t end up with a model that was introduced on the market 10 years ago. Ideally, one that has been available for three or four years, is modulating, and preferably (though there aren’t many) uses R290.
Of course, it also helps if the noise outlet is not directed straight at the neighbor’s bedroom. Simply rotating it by 90° can make a big difference.
