We are planning a new building (approx. 180m²) (KfW70) and have been considering for a long time which primary energy source we should use. In any case, it includes
- underfloor heating everywhere
- controlled residential ventilation (current favorite: Buderus HRV)
- hydronic fireplace (Wodtke Giro, 8KW with buffer storage)
Since we like wood heat, it is no problem to absorb cold peaks in winter, which can become expensive with the heat pump.
Nevertheless, a heat pump costs a few thousand euros more to purchase, and the heat pump tariffs from electricity providers are disappearing. And at 27 cents/kWh, that is not cheap.
On the other hand, we first have to have a gas connection installed (despite the new housing estate, 1800€!), and you pay a basic fee on top of the cheap gas, plus you need another chimney shaft through the entire house, which must be planned and built.
At the moment, we are undecided... My brother-in-law is a heating engineer, does not want to interfere (he would tend towards gas) and works at Buderus, which is why we get good (!) discounts there, no matter what we choose. That means the brand is basically fixed.
Is the Buderus heat pump (indoor or split?) a good idea together with the Buderus HRV residential ventilation? Or is gas better?
