I installed mini splits (small heat pumps) in each of our rooms. Everyone gets their own temperature and they were only 800$ a piece. Did installation myself and it was pretty easy. Hardest thing was pulling a vacuum in the lines before releasing the freon (or whatever it's called) but all I did was watch a youtube video. They've been going strong for several years. I looked at the prices and they are still the same.

Did the same. air air is cheap and works like a charm. this 40k for heatpump is for the most luxury version every salesmen trys to sell

Yeah if 40k is the go to amount of heat pumps, the entire country has lost the plot

BTW, in Germany you're not allowed to install it yourself. At least that's what I read some time ago. I guess nobody checks, of course, but in case things go bad and you need insurance, probably they can invalidate it due to the fact you did something illegal.

Not saying it makes sense, though.

i installed mine myself and probably illegaly. But its super easy and those people who install it do a shit job sometimes. I watched professionell people flushing those pipes with compressed air....

And the fine is nonexistent so everyone should do it themself.

I also don't think it's that hard, at least by looking at the YouTube videos.

Do you risk to lose house insurance in case of issues?

This is one of the reasons why sometimes I am even afraid of thinking about such DIY projects.

[bratwurst3000]

yes for heatpump specific problems that are based on faulty installation.
