Heating with ice, ice heating for single-family house, experience reports

Lake as ice storage - I would have just taken a part of the pool :cool:, maybe a perpetual motion machine would have been created..;) no, seriously, that is clearly a different case. You also need to have space for the tank (concrete cistern) on the property, even if it is not very much.

Space would not have been the problem. We also have a huge cistern with [76.000 Litern].

ok, but then these are no longer usual house parameters.

Is somewhat larger than average. There is a thread here in the forum. They only moved in in November.

I don't even find it significantly more expensive, unless you compare it to a gas heating system. The 30,000 euros included the ice storage, the heat pump, installation, and the associated collectors on the roof, as well as the pipes, at least that was the case for me back then.

30,000 for the complete system installed? That's very cheap. Which manufacturer do you have? Who installed it? Do you have further experience?

30k for the complete system installed? That’s very cheap. Which manufacturer do you have? Who installed it? Do you have further experience?

It wasn’t that cheap after all. Those were prices from 2012/2013. At that time, an air heat pump complete was priced around 15-18k euros and pellet around 20-25k euros, so not just the heating device itself. Compared to pellet, it was therefore up to 10k euros more expensive but the advantages outweighed that. Alone because no storage space was necessary. If you included the construction costs for storage space, it might even have been cheaper. It was a Viessmann ice storage. But in addition, there was underfloor heating and other sanitary installations as well as home technology like ventilation etc. We also looked at a deep drilling. That was already over 30k just for the drilling plus the rest. I can give you the address if you want. But it will certainly be significantly more expensive today.
