Redundant heating system for water-carrying pellet stove?

To say it again, the pellet stove is nonsense in terms of "heating a house." These punctual, high heating outputs are pointless in a highly thermally insulated new building. Warm water pockets and other crutches also don’t help overcome this. Build yourself a stove for ambiance and make sure its heating output is as low as possible.

Morning Alex

What leads you to this statement?

Properly planned and executed, a pellet stove with a water heat exchanger is indeed suitable for heating a single-family house.

Properly planned and executed, a pellet stove with a water heat exchanger is indeed suitable for heating a single-family house.

You also distorted it. It was about the additional(!) heating using a pellet stove with an existing heat pump. Please read the thread entirely and don’t pick individual statements out of context.

Apart from that, a pellet stove is of course suitable for heating a single-family house. After all, it is a heat generator. They all produce heat.

However, one should ask why heat generators are to be used in modern, insulated new buildings with a heating load of 5-6 kW that, by design, deliver no less than twice that as soon as they start heating. And then find a crutch on how to transfer this excessive heating capacity to a surface heating system, because crowding around the stove, leaving doors open, and relying on convection is simply too much.

It just doesn’t fit.

So I have finally managed to get to the PC again.
First of all, many thanks for your help and to wrobel for the positive feedback on pellet fireplaces.
However, I am leaning slightly towards a heat pump, especially in combination with a photovoltaic system.

For now, we are still in the floor plan phase and I will wait for the heating demand calculation before making a final decision.

Thanks again.
