Then you’re paying for convenience, not heating. Whole different ballgame.

    Playing less money and the convenience to have my whole house heated! Ofcourse!

    Less money over 10 or 20 years sure. Short term you're paying way more.

    If I had 20k EUR to spend, I'd get a heat pump too. Unfortunately I’m stuck with my 40 year old furnace that’s completely manual. If I were to replace the whole thing with an automatic modern one that burns pellets, it’d be under 10k, and a regular one maybe 5k.

    I do have an air source heat pump but that is more of a supplemental heater and summertime cooler. I'd need 5 of these to heat the whole house and my electric bill would far exceed what I spend on briquettes for the winter.
