This is not trivial stuff at all. Smarthome can maybe wait a bit, but the wiring for it can’t. A star wiring to all lamps, switches, doors, etc. with power + data BUS is certainly not something you just do afterwards.
That is your opinion, but basically it is just more expensive gimmicky stuff. I myself invested a bit more in electrical work, but if I hadn’t had the extra money, I would have cut it out. It’s not a must-have.
I think long-term, for example, I don’t want to tie myself to the fluctuating prices of gas for heating, and besides, I find it outdated to burn things. Regarding renewable energies, I find photovoltaics great, and already have since my school days. Given the electricity prices here in Germany and climate change, I just think it’s crazy to build houses without a photovoltaic system. Especially since the modules pay for themselves. Especially since the modules pay for themselves.
Electricity prices fluctuate too. I agree with you, but it’s not advisable for the wallet. And nobody knows what it will look like in 15-20 years. And only then does such a system pay off. The modules paying for themselves is wrong. Your father did everything right, but there have been some changes in recent years and it’s not as attractive as 15 years ago.
Accordingly, I naturally want a charging option at the house. And since, thanks to climate change, we’re getting hotter summers, I also want to have a way to cool. I didn’t find the 35°C in the house this year very fun, and who knows how the next 50 years, during which I want to live in the house, will be.
The charging option is one of the cheapest things on your wishlist. I didn’t experience 35 degrees in the house at any of my friends’ houses who have recently built. They simply ventilated properly. In the evenings it was always comfortable except for a few days.
It doesn’t have to be right now, but at 29 you want to slowly move out and live alone. And renting is really not my thing at all. I grew up in a house and have gotten used to the freedoms of being able to listen to loud music anytime, lie in the garden with the cat, or just climb up on the roof. Also, I consider rent to be money thrown away. I’d rather put every euro into my own property, not someone else’s.
That’s nice, but if you want to get out into the real world, you have to pay what is demanded. And at the moment, that’s different sums than what is being made to appear. Have you dealt with costs after building a house? There are plenty of rent/buy discussions here. From what I gather, it’s certainly more comfortable if the house belongs to you, but financially you’re better off with rent and corresponding investment opportunities with the rest of the money. By the way, I’m impressed that you’re so committed to the environment – even if not all that glitters is gold. Electric cars have plenty of downsides. But these things are not standard, and the companies all charge well for them. The fact is, you need more money for your wishes or you have to make compromises.
