Construction costs are currently skyrocketing

The company does electrical work, plumbing, and heating. So it actually fits. They come from a small town - if they did sloppy work, they wouldn't have a good reputation. I tried to talk to them. No chance. Either exactly like that or not at all. And "not at all" would mean looking for a new heating guy. And not just any, but someone who does it without buffers. And who has time within a few weeks to install underfloor heating throughout a whole house and just happen to have a heat pump in stock. I think that's unrealistic. But I already had this discussion with them months ago. I've come to terms with it. As long as the money isn't infinite, there are simply some bitter pills to swallow when building a house.

Our outdoor unit is currently only connected to power and the refrigerant lines are lying next to it.

According to the plumber, someone from Vaillant will come for commissioning and then also connect the refrigerant line... does anyone know this? I thought the heating installer would do that themselves as an authorized partner.

Nevertheless, I observe the antagonistic attitude and communication against the ethnic/cultural "establishment" with sweeping accusations also with concern. In my opinion, pure aggression helps no one.

I also don’t understand why in this situation the CDU with Merz acts as if it were a run-of-the-mill election campaign where it’s about small adjustments. The CDU knows very well that they also don’t have answers and solutions for everything that magically restore the state of 2018. And our regional leader Söder is probably crossing himself three times that he is not Chancellor right now and just has to play the role of the know-it-all. We need solutions and the willingness to cooperate and agreement that it won’t be easy but it is doable. Instead, there is only screaming and whining and finger-pointing and mockery everywhere. That helps exactly with what? Where are the fu**** adults in this room?

And our regional leader Söder is probably very relieved that he is not Chancellor right now and only has to play the role of the know-it-all.

Did anyone see his appearance on Maischberger yesterday? I think after that there's no need to talk about Habeck anymore. There is probably no one else like such a self-satisfied, overly clever, arrogant guy. Everyone has made mistakes, of course except him.

That's how it is. It was done that way for us too. The heating installer installed the system and the Vaillant customer service did the rest including commissioning. You can only hope that the Vaillant customer service comes promptly...

I think he came across just as usual :cool: So I wasn't surprised by the appearance or the style.
