Pump noises in underfloor heating, pump in living room, noise disturbance

...We are quite aware of a general noise development, which is why we exclude the utility room on the first floor as a location, since bedrooms and children's rooms adjoin it and we do not want operational noises in the immediate vicinity during sleeping hours.

Then you have to endure these expectations at the location as well ;-) How high they are must be answered by the seller, after all, he gets his money for it.

...Perhaps you as a professional or another user are indeed able to answer our sincere question despite all possible complications.

Then let's wait until someone provides reliable information (guarantee, warranty) about this rare construction.
Ultimately, it is the responsibility of the seller (assurance of quality). After all, noise development has been indicated. Now one can speculate on whether and to what extent this is acceptable. In case of doubt, one can agree on a corresponding clause in the purchase contract ;-)

Best regards

Hello,

we did not want to offend anyone.

Unfortunately, you are resistant to advice, which also shows in the fact that you - for whatever reasons - stubbornly refuse to answer the questions asked. Besides, no one can answer whether the expected noises will bother you or rather not. Some people are bothered by flies on the wall, I don’t even hear the traffic outside my window. But that is not the crux of your question.

Of course we are grateful for tips and critical comments. However, questioning the entire project does not help either.

It also doesn’t help you - whether land prices or not - if I advise you to place the distributor (which would disturb the least) as well as the storage tank right in the middle of the living room.

Of course it is important to us that optimal district heating supply is ensured and that in the long term this does not become a money pit.

That depends on the quality of the district heating and especially on the negotiated prices.

Since the developer only offers underfloor heating on the ground floor, and the control center is also to be connected on the ground floor (on the upper floor there are adjacent sleeping and children's rooms), unfortunately there is no other option.

Even with very narrow 5.00 m room heights, there is usually a kitchen, a guest WC, and a living/dining area on the ground floor. And even with this narrow house there is certainly the possibility to install the required technology - if no other option is possible, which I would doubt - underneath the stairs to the attic. With district heating, this is even easier to realize than with a conventional gas condensing boiler plus solar domestic hot water heating, because less space is required. Unfortunately, you have so far refused any indication of house width and length as well as the storey height.

What you obviously also overlook is that the provider only lays the lines "behind the first wall"; so they come into the house on the ground floor to begin with. You also didn’t respond to this hint :confused:

By the way, have you asked the developer about the additional costs if they were to install underfloor heating also in the attic? As a rule, there is no developer who would refuse special features. But the positioning of the storage tank would still need to be clarified.

With Rhenish regards
