Hello everyone,
we are about to build a detached house *** 140 m² living space and are currently giving a lot of thought to the appropriate heating system. We have also already looked around here in the forum. Until yesterday, we planned to install a gas condensing boiler *** solar system for hot water preparation and heating support. Yesterday we were at a trade fair and found an interesting alternative there.
It is a hybrid heat pump. So a combination of an air-water heat pump combined *** a gas condensing boiler. After extensive research on the Internet, we decided against a classic air-water heat pump because it has to switch on a heating element at low outdoor temperatures to avoid freezing. Because of this*** it no longer seems as economical as initially assumed. With the hybrid heat pump, as much environmental heat as possible and never more gas than necessary is used. A sensor decides based on the outdoor temperature, the required flow temperature, and the prices *** gas and electricity, when the gas condensing boiler should be switched on, covering the peak load. The heat pump does the main work here. As soon as it no longer works quite efficiently, the gas condensing boiler takes over, which can keep electricity consumption low.
To me, this system currently seems to be the ideal solution for us. Now I wonder why these systems are so little advertised and offered. They are a very good combination of the proven gas heating and the environmentally friendly heat pump. The purchase costs are also manageable and, according to some other Internet information, amortized after about eight years.
My question now is whether anyone has already installed such a device, heard other experiences about it, or can give a personal opinion.
Tomorrow we will also get in touch *** the experts we trust about this.
Many greetings!
