We just got a air to water heat pump installed. It was a “drop-in” replacement for our gas furnace, so it produces hot water to radiators and under floor heating, and hot water for the taps. Total price with installation was around 18,000 euros. Will save us around 2,000 euros per year compared to gas, but as we also have solar cells, that will probably be more like 2,500-3,000 euros. We need to see a full season of usage to know how much the solar cells can help over winter but at the moment the little heating we need + hot water does not cost us any electricity.
That sounds similar to what you’d need to pay here. In-laws did the same few years ago and it was ~20k, but there was quite a lot of additional work to fit the pump next to wood furnace.
I’ve been looking for a water-to-air unit for us to replace electric under floor heating and water boiler, but as we don’t have any plumbing ready that’ll quickly add up to the cost since we’d need to rip out tiles, grind channels for pipes, re-level and re-tile the floor and so on. With that we might get 1000-1500 savings per year, but it’d take 15 years (give or take) for the investment to pay itself assuming nothing breaks during that time so at least for it doesn’t really make sense.
