Gas or heat pump? Experiences / Feedback

During the transition period, we also have no cold problem. Did not miss a wood stove.

So something is wrong with you guys. We have an air-water heat pump with underfloor heating, the bathroom is a cozy 24 degrees without electric auxiliary heating, same in the living room. The rest of the house is at 22 degrees. I don’t know how you can get more comfort than that. No one is freezing, in the transitional period it is often too warm in the evenings (living room 26 degrees) due to sunlight during the day. And that without excessively high heating costs or a lot of work with the wood.

Ok so you set the heating to 24 degrees in the bathroom .... the sensor detects it’s 24 degrees because the sun is shining .... so it doesn’t heat, right? Tiles cool down ... in the evening the sun is gone ... the underfloor heating heats but by the time it’s warm again it’s already the next day .... it’s just sluggish

In the past, you could just turn up the heat in the evening if it was too cold ... you can do that in the living room, but then when does it actually take effect?

Sorry but that's nonsense. If the house heats up to about 24° during the day in the transitional period due to sunlight, there is no measurable difference a few hours later in the evening, let alone to the extent that you need to "reheat." Unless you leave the window open or have a hole somewhere in the wall.

A wood stove is totally uneconomical and falls under the luxury category for me. We also have one, and it burns very often. The reasons are the pleasant radiant heat, the ambiance, and the crackling of the wood. It doesn't get cozier than that. But as already mentioned, only masonry is used; Swedish stoves unfortunately have no place in energy-saving regulation houses as they are not reasonably usable.

Ok so you set the heating to 24 degrees in the bathroom .... the sensor detects it is 24 degrees because the sun is currently shining .... so it doesn’t heat, right? Tiles get cooler ... in the evening the sun is gone ... underfloor heating heats but by the time it’s warm, it’s already the next day again .... it’s just slow

In the past, in the evening you could just turn up the heating quickly if it was too cold ... you can do that in the living room, but when does that actually take effect?

It strongly depends. Nothing in the bathroom warms up from the sun, that’s up north. The underfloor heating doesn’t heat on days like today, the heat pump is on summer mode from 12.5 with a hysteresis of 4, so from 16.5 the heating switches off, which is already reached in the morning. Overnight the heating only switches on again when it is below 8.5 degrees. This has proven to be a good compromise. If it gets cold at night, the bathroom is warm in the morning; if not and the heating stays off, it’s just 23.5 degrees, which is also okay. When the sun beats into the living room (windows facing every direction), it sometimes gets up to 26 degrees if you don’t shade, then it cools down to at most 24.5 by the time you go to bed, if you leave a door open sometimes to do something on the terrace.

The underfloor heating does not heat at all on days like today

Just now, and as a woman, I have rooms where it gets too cold for me in the evening ... on the wooden floor it's still okay but in the hallway, stairwell, bathrooms
Everywhere tiles that get cold because the underfloor heating is not on .... too cold for me: stove on
