Hello,

we have purchased a semi-detached house from a developer. In total, the developer is building 8 semi-detached houses and one detached house. All the semi-detached houses will have a split water-source heat pump. Our semi-detached house has one gas line, and we were offered to use this line for a gas heating system with solar without extra cost.

The semi-detached house has a basement but no finished attic. The living area is about 130m² (1,400 sq ft) with underfloor heating installed throughout.

Which option should we choose, or which one is more economical considering the running costs?

Best regards,
AndiTanja

Hello,

I believe natural gas will continue to play an important role in the short, medium, and long term. The Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy also lists natural gas as a “significant contribution to Germany’s energy supply” for the coming decades (available on the BMWi website).

Therefore, a gas condensing boiler system is a technically mature option that is also economically very attractive, especially when considering price trends over the past 10 years.
