I am still seriously considering the R32. They strongly discouraged me from using propane because there have supposedly been explosions with customers, and I was informed about it so that I would have to bear the consequences myself.
That would end my "serious consideration." Anyone who tells such nonsense is out with me. He also sells heated blankets to seniors.
If you want or need cooling, you can't avoid R32. But I still can't come to terms with the jack of all trades.
Cooling would be a real gimmick. I had almost 40 degrees Celsius at night in the summer in the bedroom upstairs under the roof... But the heat was present throughout the whole house. No shade outside. What else do you have against R32 that might stop me?
I decided on R290 for heating and R32 for cooling. The cooling is completely paid for from the subsidy for the heating. The price difference per kW is quite remarkable. If one of them fails, the other still works until the HB comes by.
Nothing. Yesterday an electric car burned down. So? Old cars only at your own risk? The day before yesterday the neighbor's oil heating caught fire - oil, devil stuff? Oh. A multi-family house exploded. Broken gas line. R290 has been used for half a century at old campsites and in gardens. It is just as dangerous as R32 & co. Just not for the environment, that's why R32 is a phased-out model. That is why it is partly already banned and will soon be for heat pumps as well. R290 for air conditioning is already normal. It will only be available in the future.
