The Ht value is not exactly great for a timber frame house. It should actually be better. The better you insulate your house, the more you ultimately relieve the air-water heat pump. At A-7/W35 and A2/W35, neither of the two air-water heat pumps shines with good COP values. 10kW is over the top. Whether 7kW or 8kW is less decisive. The Wolf has minimally better COP values, but hardly any buffer in case you (or your tenant) want it 1-2 °C warmer in the house than you currently think.

If it is supposed to get warmer, you increase the flow temperature or the flow rate, you only need the maximum power at A-7 or NAT or worse.

In extreme cases, the heating element simply kicks in.

I lived until recently 40 years in a moderately insulated old building with 20°C room temperature, so 20°C is more than enough for us. As I said, an electric heater is added anyway, if I really miss 1-2°C in the bathroom, and in case of emergency, you can still play with the heating curve or really raise the flow temperatures by 1-2°C. It is important in this context that you have an appropriate volume flow for the heat pump, which should result depending on pipe diameter and laying lengths. And if, for example, your heating engineer installs only 25mm laying distances with 14mm pipes and the ERR also cuts off a few heating circuits, it can get tight with the minimum volume flow.

Sorry, I wrote that in the wrong context. This is more in the direction BEFORE signing with the general contractor. It’s in any case advisable to negotiate as much as possible beforehand. That would be a point I would personally include.

Is it possible to get this included in the contract with every general contractor? It will rather be the exception that a general contractor agrees to this contractually, or they will charge a high price for it. Question to the group, what are your experiences with this?

There won't be that many experiences with this. But it's true, not many will do it. Therefore, I generally tend to prefer smaller general contractors or individual contracts.
It will be similar, for example, with sockets. The phrase often used here is: they discuss that individually with the electrician after signing... For me, a disaster and one reason why I prefer renovating rather than building.
