The decision on how a new home will be heated is one of the first decisions that an investor must make at the design selection stage. It is also one of the most important decisions, because it directly translates into the comfort of use and the cost of operating the property. What solutions available on the heating system market are worth considering when building a new home? What should be taken into account when choosing a specific solution?
When choosing how to heat a new home, the investor should consider their own preferences and expectations regarding the heating system. They must also take into account the limitations of the plot on which the property is being built and the square footage they want to allocate for the room in which the devices will be installed. The most important thing, however, is that the building must meet the requirements of the Technical Conditions 2021, which specify, among other things, what the maximum annual demand of the building for non-renewable energy used for heating and preparing hot water and for cooling, ventilation or lighting can be. Therefore, the WT 2021 greatly influences what device can be installed in a specific investment.

Which boiler to choose?
If the plot has access to natural gas, a gas boiler seems to be the natural choice for some investors. A modern gas condensing boiler is easy to use, and a dual-function gas boiler takes up very little space, so a special room for installation is not needed - it can be hung, for example, in the kitchen. However, if the investor has a large family and plans to build a large house with two bathrooms , a single-function gas furnace and an additional domestic hot water heater will be a better choice. This solution will provide greater comfort in using hot water, because thanks to the tank, a large supply can be heated. There will be no problem with reduced flow, as in the case of dual-function boilers, and during bathing - with a lowering temperature of the incoming water for a long time.
If you want to use renewable energy sources, you can decide on a hybrid solution - a combination of a boiler and a heat pump. A properly configured controller will ensure that individual devices in the system are switched on and off in such a way that their operation is as economical as possible.

Condensing boilers - De Dietrich offer
The De Dietrich brand offers a wide selection of modern gas condensing boilers from which everyone can choose a device that meets their requirements.
Evodens AMC
A modern premium gas condensing boiler. Evodens is available in several versions: dual-function, single-function with a built-in domestic hot water tank and in a set with a tank. A wide selection of available power allows you to match the device to the needs of a specific building and the investor's requirements. The boiler is characterized by exceptionally high efficiency (up to 110.6%) and a large modulation range (from 22% to 100%), which makes the boiler efficient and works ecologically and economically.
Lumea MPX
Condensing boiler, which thanks to its small size will work well in spaces where there is not much space for a boiler room and the boiler hangs e.g. in the bathroom. The boiler is equipped with the GAC (Gas Adaptive Control) system, which guarantees combustion optimization thanks to electronic control and an electronic gas valve. The system continuously controls and optimizes the combustion process. GAC also makes it easier to start the boiler, because there is no need for manual adjustment, calibration or replacement of nozzles.
Modules
The floor-standing gas condensing boiler De Dietrich Modulens G AGC 15 , which is a good solution for spacious homes. It will work well if the owners care about maintaining the elegant appearance of the room in which the boiler is located. Modulens is available in a single-function version or with a built-in tank of various capacities.

Air source heat pump - a good choice
Heat pumps are currently one of the most frequently chosen solutions for new homes. This is an ecological and economical solution to use, although the initial costs are higher than in the case of using only a gas boiler. The growing popularity of air/water pumps also results from the fact that they are installed much faster than devices that draw heat from the ground or water, and the space required for their installation is reduced to a minimum. An external module that draws heat from the environment can be installed anywhere, regardless of the terrain.
The cost of installation is also significant, significantly lower than other types of pumps. By combining an air heat pump with a gas boiler, we effectively supplement the heating system. All because the tasks intended for the boiler are performed by the air heat pump , while offering much better operating parameters. The appropriate configuration of the controller supervising the switching on and off of devices ensures economic operation of the entire system. Such characteristics mean that despite the initial costs associated with the purchase of a heat pump, the incurred expenses will start to pay off in the form of lower energy bills. Heat pumps also work well with photovoltaic panels .

Heat pumps - De Dietrich offer
The De Dietrich brand offers a range of devices from the air heat pump segment.
Alezio M / Alezio M V200
Monoblock devices - easy to use, ecological and energy-saving. The pump has a heating function in winter and cooling in summer using the underfloor heating system. Alezio M can operate at outside temperatures down to -20°C. The integrated heater in the Alezio M V200 version has a capacity of 177 liters. The pump is equipped with a convenient control console, which allows you to use a number of useful functions. The pump settings can also be controlled remotely using an application installed on a mobile device. The pump is available in a wide range of power, from 6 to 11.2 kW. It is characterized by a high energy efficiency class up to “A++” for central heating and “A” for domestic hot water.
Strato R32
This is one of the latest proposals from the De Dietrich brand. The device works discreetly and efficiently. It provides the right temperature in the rooms and, thanks to the integrated domestic hot water heater, ensures constant access to hot water.
The De Dietrich Strateo R32 heat pump, thanks to the technology used, adjusts its power to current needs, thus enabling economical energy consumption by the device. When the demand for heat is high, the pump uses all of its power, while when the demand drops, the degree of use of the device's power also decreases. Thanks to this, Strateo ensures reduced energy consumption compared to a traditional heat pump, thus guaranteeing significant savings. The pump will also work well in the summer for cooling rooms.
The Strateo pump uses a new, more ecological refrigerant R32, making the device environmentally friendly not only due to the use of renewable energy sources.
