Hello,
we are planning a detached single-family house (about 140m² (1507 ft²) of living space plus approximately 20m² (215 ft²) hobby room). Now the question arises about the heating system.
At the moment, I am leaning towards a gas condensing boiler with standard radiators. Solar panels for water heating will also be installed. Additionally, a chimney for a wood stove will be built on the ground floor.
What holds me back from heat pumps of any kind are the significant additional costs, which for underfloor heating throughout the entire house range between approximately 18,000 - 25,000 euros.
I would appreciate hearing different opinions.

We have already considered several options for our new build.
The manufacturer recommended an air-to-air heat pump, but an air-to-water heat pump was also considered, as underfloor heating would be preferable.
Costs were never the main factor in our decision against a heat pump, since we would have even received a bonus for an air-to-air heat pump.
At the moment, we are planning a pellet system, supported by solar energy. In addition, there will be a stove in the living room with a water jacket, which could potentially support the underfloor heating. We will also have a ventilation system.
We chose pellets to remain within the KfW55 standard. The possibility of receiving a repayment subsidy for this was an important consideration in our planning.
Maybe this could be an option for you as well?
