Hello everyone,
I have a new construction coming up (two-story single-family house, approx. 140 m² living space) and I definitely want to use a heat pump for heating. This in combination with a photovoltaic system with a storage battery. I do not want cooling in the house, I only need the heat pump for heating and hot water. The house will not have a ventilation system. I have now received so many different statements regarding the heat pump from various experts that I cannot come to a clear conclusion. Maybe you can help me get started?
I will roughly summarize my collected arguments (pro/contra):
Water-water heat pump
Air-water heat pump (recommended to me by the construction manager)
Brine-water heat pump
Based on my layman’s assessment, I would choose the water-water heat pump and accept the additional cost of approx. €10,000. Are there any arguments I have overlooked? What are the long-term experiences (maintenance work, repair and maintenance costs)?
Thanks in advance!

I will roughly summarize my collected arguments (pro/contra):
Water-water heat pump
[*]Highest energy yield and efficiency
[*]High acquisition costs due to groundwater drilling
[*]Costs cannot be estimated in advance, depend on groundwater level and soil conditions
Air-water heat pump (recommended to me by the construction manager)
[*]Manageable costs
[*]Low space requirements
[*]Apparently sufficient for the house (I am not sure about that)
[*]The fan is audible (though relatively quiet), which could possibly disturb neighbors or myself
Brine-water heat pump
[*]Longest service life (possibly irrelevant since modern technology is worth it after 10-20 years anyway?)
[*]Low acquisition costs
[*]High space requirements for ground collectors (would not be a problem, garden is large enough)
