I have no knowledge of heating systems and insulation but I ask myself the following question. Is it even worthwhile to purchase a relatively expensive heat pump for a house if it is already almost perfectly insulated? I mean, the better the insulation, the less I have to heat. That also means: the less I have to heat, the longer it takes for the additional costs of a heat pump to pay off. Am I making a mistake in thinking, or wouldn't it be more sensible to opt for a conventional gas heating system in a very well-insulated house – because it is cheaper to purchase?
