An air heat pump does not require 2...3 thousand euros in connection costs With gas condensing boilers and air heat pumps, the investment costs are therefore usually on par! With an air heat pump you can cool, with a gas condensing boiler you cannot....as long as a kWh of gas costs only about a third of a kWh of electricity, the air heat pump has to really pull out all the stops to recoup its investment costs....
How pointless to do that, if at all, in well-planned systems it accounts for < 1% of the annual heating energy demand! Trivial in the overall balance....And the nasty thing: the colder the air outside gets and the more urgently you need the heating output, the worse the efficiency of the air heat pump becomes. This is often corrected by an electric heating element, which causes costs to explode completely....
In new buildings with gas condensing boilers, you usually have to compulsorily buy an uneconomical solar thermal system for hot water, how horrible
With gas condensing boilers, the consumption is always higher than the demand, with air heat pumps it is the other way around
