We signed the purchase contract for our house last week; all 5 [FH-Anbieter] had planned an air-to-water heat pump. In the end, we bought a Kfw 40+ house with photovoltaics, controlled residential ventilation with heat recovery, a house without a basement from a smaller provider in solid wood in Upper Swabia, whose overall concept absolutely convinced us – also in terms of price. The heating is done with geothermal baskets and a corresponding heat pump without an additional heating element. The air-to-air heat pump or air-to-water heat pump has the worst efficiency when the heat demand is highest; there are also very different experiences in the forum regarding energy consumption and COP. Without additional heating, I would definitely not do it, especially not in cold regions.
