In our cellar we have a heating and oil storage room (Heizungsraum und Heizöltank). Almost all the homes in our neighbourhood use oil for heating. Its sadly not the most eco-friendly way of heating.
We also have underfloor heating in most rooms in our house like the kitchen and bathrooms. This is very practical because it saves lots of space. (You don’t have a big heating unit in the centre of the room).
In the cold Winter months, we heat our house with a small wooden oven. It gives a nice cosy winter cabin feel. You’d be surprised at how much heat can be produced in this small fireplace (see picture below). We use local wood to support climate friendly transportation emissions.
