Hello,
since I have heard many different opinions and pieces of advice on the topic of heating from various sides beforehand, I wanted to ask a few questions to neutral readers.
A house with two full floors of about 90 sqm each is being built.
As far as insulation is concerned, I am rather willing to invest a little more in it if the maintenance costs become lower as a result.
I am aware that I cannot avoid a good energy consultant who will calculate the final values etc., of course. But I wanted to be as well prepared as possible.
Whether heating will be done with an air heat pump or district heating depends on the tariff for district heating, an offer hopefully coming soon.
At the site visit, the engineer who calculates the connection costs already suggested building in such a way that the connection can potentially be replaced by my own heat pump. That sounded plausible to me.
However, everyone here is talking about the necessity of underfloor heating and if I remember correctly, floorboards and underfloor heating don't really fit together, is that correct? Or are there alternatives, as I would really like to have floorboards, and wall heating would be quite awkward because of the wooden walls which I don’t want to cover up either.
But I was also advised from another side (chimney sweep) to install a wood stove with air-flue chimney on each floor, produce hot water with a domestic hot water heat pump, and heat electrically during the transition period since there is a photovoltaic system and the controlled residential ventilation in combination with the thick insulation will ensure a pleasant temperature anyway.
Well, now I’m stuck. Is the latter concept really possible and practicable? Or does everyone just want to sell their favorite system?
