Hello, we are starting the reconstruction of the house and we are still looking for the best way to heat. Does anyone have experience with a ground-to-water heat pump? Is the initial investment worthwhile? Isn't it noisy? Doesn't it cause any vibrations, for example? Thank you.

1 Answer

Answer :

I don't have a personal. The neighbor has it, combined with solar panels and can not praise it. Although the initial investment is relatively large, they claim that the return will be about 5 years. He has the advantage of building solar panels at a time when electricity contracts were advantageous. The sun produces twice as much electricity a year as it consumes a year. The advantage is that it sells electricity more expensive than it buys.
