Correct, therefore heat pumps are particularly efficient when the LWT is as described above (heating operation). For domestic hot water, it is naturally higher. Sensibly max. 50..55°C. This means that domestic hot water storage tanks must be dimensioned accordingly or a fresh water system used. For domestic hot water production, the annual performance factor is therefore somewhat more modest, which usually does not make much difference under "normal" conditions, since the annual energy share for heating is usually higher. All this can be clarified in advance (basic investigation)....The underfloor heating is one thing and the water supply for showering etc. is another. The water temperature generated by the heat pump will not exceed a certain value.
There is no "most economical" heating system! In each building project, the conditions vary due to the specific framework conditions. What makes sense for A just barely works for B and leads to a money pit for C....Which heating type is the most economical if you exclude gas.
No one can reliably answer this question => basic investigation....A standard air/water heating system is to be used or should one rather prefer a brine/water heating system with deep drilling?
Brine heat pumps probably have the edge here, also due to indoor installation. For air heat pumps, one has to differentiate. In the more efficient and fully modulating split units, the evaporator is located in an outdoor unit. There are also combined units (indoor installation) that provide significantly lower COPs but are quieter outside....Are there any experiences regarding the noise levels of both heating systems?
So it also depends here on the specific framework conditions. In an absolutely quiet location, the outdoor evaporator can sometimes be perceived as disturbing. Then a brine heat pump with a source without "digging or drilling" can also be used. However, the COPs are more modest than with a brine heat pump with, for example, a vertical probe.
As you can see, everything has certain advantages but also disadvantages. Each can only be properly classified and assessed with a solid and exact basic investigation as well as overall planning.
With kind regards
