Hello,

I have a question. We signed a contract with a construction company. The offer was nearly turnkey. However, we are not satisfied with the heating system that was proposed. Therefore, we would now like to hire our own heating company.

Does anyone happen to know what needs to be considered in this situation? Is it allowed to simply remove certain services from the contract? What additional costs might we face? At the time of signing the contract, we discussed that we were not happy with the heating system and wanted a different one. However, the developer did not take any action and just delayed the process. The final selection and detailed planning are only scheduled for January. The company had not yet incurred any expenses for materials or other services.

Perhaps someone has had a similar experience.

Why did you sign if you were not satisfied with the heating system?
What kind of question is that ...

We signed because we were satisfied with the rest, and we pointed out at the signing that we did not want this heating system.

The company has previously worked with the heating technician we now prefer. If they don’t provide what we want, we will have to take action ourselves.

Of course, also interesting: What kind of heating system are you going to get, and what do you actually want? That’s definitely a topic for lively discussion :P

We only had a similar discussion regarding a water softener system. Grünbeck vs. BTW.

The plumber said he could maintain Grünbeck but not BTW.

After that, it was pretty clear which one we would choose. We didn’t want to use the expensive manufacturer’s service.
