Hello everyone,

after a long back and forth with the building authority, our house construction project is now about to start
Now we have to make a still enormously important decision for us...

Which heating system should we use?
We are planning a single-family house of about 180 sqm without a basement

Option 1 (my personal favorite):


water-carrying fireplace + solar thermal + gas condensing boiler

we have our own forest and currently I harvest about 6 cubic meters of wood every year anyway.

Option 2 (this option is preferred by our developer):

Air-to-water heat pump from Nibe + photovoltaic system including battery (Viebrockhaus).
However, I am put off by the dependency on electricity on gloomy days with this variant And you simply consume the most energy when the sun is not shining.

Regardless of the developer, what would be the best option for us?

Thanks and regards

Option 1. With your own wood, of course! Let someone else hang their Nibe around his neck.

I would also recommend option 1. I myself have exactly this solution. A masonry heater with an additional water jacket, a gas condensing boiler, and a solar system.

Thank you very much for the quick responses
Can you roughly say how much electricity the pump motor for the water-bearing fireplace consumes?
It should actually be quite manageable.

I would not choose a simple water-bearing fireplace.
In the transitional period, you then pump heat into the rooms only to get hot water. The sun is not shining yet, but it is too warm outside for much energy.
If then wood gasifier or a basic stove with a water jacket.

With your own forest, it is questionable whether a full gas heating system is worthwhile as an emergency heating.

Keep in mind: the fireplace has to run at full throttle in order to charge the buffer.

That was the reason for my masonry heater. I have a combustion chamber for 10kg of wood, so that's quite something ... I don't know if a stove would be that optimal there.

I can switch between water jacket and flue channels. That way I can also heat at warmer temperatures without the place getting too hot. However, I also have a very large room where the stove is located, so it doesn't overheat the room that quickly.
