Hello, I am currently planning our house. A brief introduction: we are building in Lower Bavaria.
We do not want a basement, and the house should have about 220 sqm (2,368 sq ft) of living space in total.
I work part-time as a farmer. We have a 29 kW photovoltaic system on our barn, which is connected to my parents’ house.
In the living area, we want either a tile stove or a wood-burning stove since we have our own wood supply. A wood chip heating system is not an option for us.
What would you recommend installing currently? I saw a stove from SHT that can burn both pellets and logs. The advantage would be that we could avoid having both a tile stove and a wood stove.
I’m not quite sure at the moment... I would really appreciate your advice. Best regards

I’ve built my third house, and numbers don’t lie.
The most important thing is insulation. With my passive house standard, I spend less than €400 (about $430) per year on energy costs, and that’s with a very affordable heating system in terms of initial investment. I don’t have to go shopping wearing a jacket and wool socks.
I have a good comparison to my other homes, but to each their own—some people are willing to pay more for green electricity, which is fine. You’ve already written this in numerous other posts.
Oh, your amazing passive house with only 30 euros ($32) a month for heating. Blah blah...
It’s starting to get annoying.

I can’t read it anymore either, so
... thanks to your gas heating, you certainly did not acquire a passive house. A passive house is characterized, among other things, by the absence of a conventional heating system.
... you probably only have extensive insulation (which wasn’t free!) and a ventilation system, resulting in low heat loss and therefore low consumption. This, in turn, has absolutely no connection to your neighbor’s heat pump.
... the gas price is currently quite low, while the electricity price is at an all-time high. This distorts the perception.
Prices for fossil fuels depend on political stability and international speculation, whereas electricity prices are largely determined by government taxes and levies, so this price can be controlled (if desired). But the crystal ball will show in 5, 10, or 15 years what was economically more viable on an individual basis.
Just yesterday, political intentions resurfaced in the media to phase out fossil fuels and reduce electricity prices again. Well, we’ll see.

Prices of fossil fuels depend on political stability and international speculation, while electricity prices mainly include government charges, so this price can be influenced by policy (if desired). However, only a crystal ball will show in 5, 10, or 15 years which option was more economical.
Just yesterday, political intentions to phase out fossil fuels and reduce electricity prices were making the rounds in the media. Well, we’ll see.In general, I agree with you.However, generous insulation has the advantage that no matter how energy prices develop, consumption remains low.
If possible, I would also insulate as intensively as possible. A large part of the costs here are anyway fixed expenses such as scaffolding.
If doing the work yourself or contracting separately, this can be done quite affordably.
Unfortunately, this is often not the case with a general contractor.
I don’t want to disagree with that either.
However, the cost of additional insulation is not reflected if you only consider monthly energy consumption costs and investment in the technology. Just turn off the heating, and then you have zero monthly energy costs – but that is not the only quality criterion.
Insulation is ultimately part of the whole system, and if you omit costs for certain aspects of the system, the overall representation is simply incorrect.
