In many private houses, wood or pellet heating boilers are used to provide heat. In both cases, the downside is that you have to spend not only money, but also time for the procurement of both firewood and pellets. The fuel must then be stored dry, which requires special facilities or more space in the boiler room.
But that's not all. The heating system needs to be regularly looked after or spent time on heating if it is a wood-fired heating boiler, as well as, of course, cleaning the ash, which also requires time and work.
It is difficult to leave the house to go on a trip or visit for several days, because the heating has to be entrusted to third parties, which is not safe. Even if the pellet tank is large enough and the heating processes are automatic, the system is still not completely safe because it relies on combustion, which always creates additional risks.
A good alternative to this is the installation of a heat pump. If the building is multi-storey or has many rooms, then the most suitable types of heat pumps would be Air/Water or Ground/Water, because they heat the same radiators or the warm floor using the solar energy stored in the surrounding environment (air or ground). The only difference is that nothing is burned in the house (fire safety), no space is taken up for storing firewood or pellets, but most importantly, time is saved that would otherwise be spent on fueling, logistics and other processes related to heating.
