So we thought about it normally... Underfloor heating is indeed an option. As you can see, we are still very undecided about the heating topic.

So would an lwwp + underfloor heating be the better solution? Means lower supply temperature, which is supposed to be good.

Additionally, we have planned a photovoltaic system... I can only roughly estimate the size at 5kwp, as the offer is not yet available.

I don't want two meters, so that we can also use the photovoltaic electricity for the air-water heat pump. We want to regulate that with little effort by simply always doing the hot water preparation between 2 pm and 4 pm, as the most photovoltaic power is expected at that time.

Do you think that will keep the electricity/heating costs within limits? You do read quite a few horror stories about it.

You first need a proper heating load calculation. After that, the overall concept will determine the heating capacity you need for the heating system. If a reasonably good standard is built, you will be under 5kW at design temperature. A heat pump combined with underfloor heating is practically ideal for this. And then a photovoltaic system to provide "free" hot water in the summer. This is just an idea of mine, but with the living area, an air-to-water heat pump will fit well as long as you don’t live in the Alps.

I honestly consider radiators the worst solution and would go for underfloor heating. I know too little about alternatives like wall heating (or passive house). Let's say underfloor heating as a generic term for surface heating. Have the flow temperature designed as low as possible! How the heat is generated (oil, liquefied gas, wood/pellets, gas, air-to-water heat pump, ground source heat pump, ...?) is a separate decision. This can and should be decided independently of the underfloor heating. If money is no object and the conditions are good, I would choose the ground source heat pump with deep drilling (instead of surface collectors). So geothermal energy. For me, the next alternatives are gas and air-to-water heat pump. With gas you have the connection and the "chimney," with the air-to-water heat pump usually an outdoor unit (space, noise) and not arbitrarily hot water (ask your installer) as individual disadvantages.
