Hello forum community,
we are currently facing the following problem:
We are planning to build our own house (solid construction 140 m²) on our property, whereby (as the title already says) the ridge direction is such that the roof surfaces face the east and west sides. We are thinking about the right choice of heating system. A natural gas line is located at the property boundary. The primary energy demand cannot be determined yet. We are a family of three and are planning to have more members :-)
District heating, oil and geothermal energy are not options for us. Pellet heating is also out of the question due to limited space. Actually, only two heating systems are available: gas boiler + solar or air-to-water heat pump.
Now my question is: under what conditions and based on which criteria should I decide on one of the two systems???
I am aware that no selection can be made without concrete information/numbers. Nevertheless, your contributions should help me decide or focus more on certain things, etc....
Best regards
