This thesis describes the new construction of a small house and it includes studies of three heating systems: geothermal heating, district heating and pellet. The purpose of this thesis is to project a small house which can manage Building Regulations, BBR conditions and then examine three possible heating systems for the small house. This thesis is a literature study which gives an understanding of the heating systems technical structure, properties and costs. An empirical study completes the literature study by giving a deeper understanding of district heating costs and pellet costs. The empirical study contains two interviews, one of which was conducted in a district heating corporation and the other interview was conducted in a pellet corporation. The interview persons have answered structured questions in investment, maintenance and operating costs. The studies shows that the three heating system are different from each other for example the investment costs for district heating is much cheaper than the investments cost for pellets and geothermal heating. Finally, settles a comparison in the three heating systems properties and costs settles through a value analysis. The value analysis was an effective method when we based on literature studies and empirical studies made a valuation of the heating systems properties, investment costs, maintenance and operating costs. A weighting showed that district heating as heating system is the most optimal solution for the small house located in Borlänge.
