This distribution describes recorded buildings, not your system's consumption or efficiency.
| Energy | Heating | Hot water |
|---|---|---|
| Gas | 47 % | 42 % |
| Heating oil | 23 % | 20 % |
| District heating | 1 % | 1.3 % |
| Heat pump | 26 % | 21.2 % |

| Wood | 2 % | 0.8 % |
Each line gives the share of buildings using that energy, separately for heating and for hot water. The two columns do not always reach 100%: some buildings combine two systems, or reported none.
A standard non-condensing boiler is usually older and less efficient.
For your renovation plans in Dübendorf, the official federal building register data provides essential insights for cost estimation. With a median house volume of 920 m3, these figures help you gauge the scale of necessary heating or insulation upgrades. Please be aware that data coverage is partial, as only 19 out of 1,752 houses were measured according to the SIA 416 standard. Utilizing these figures allows you to better understand the scope of your project, ensuring that your renovation budget is aligned with the specific structural characteristics of properties located within this municipality.

Before starting work on a heat pump, it is essential to check whether your area can connect to a priority district heating network. In some zones, this option is preferred by local authorities for collective energy efficiency reasons.
Verifying this information saves you from unnecessary investment in an individual solution if a more sustainable alternative is planned.
Consult the municipal energy plan to understand the specific requirements for your plot and ensure your project complies with local strategic planning.
The capacity of your future heat pump should not be chosen by chance. The local design outdoor temperature plays a decisive role in ensuring thermal comfort for your home during the coldest periods of the year.
An undersized unit will not be enough to heat your home, while an oversized unit will lead to premature wear.
A precise calculation, performed by a qualified heating professional, takes into account the specific energy needs of your building to optimize your energy consumption over the long term.
Acoustic screens or insulation casings can also be used to reduce noise disturbances. By carefully planning the location of the outdoor unit, you ensure good relations with your neighbours while complying with applicable regulations regarding sound emissions.
Switching to a heat pump is a significant investment that must be well prepared. Many factors, such as the size of your home, existing thermal insulation, and connection work, influence the final cost.
It is advisable to compare several quotes and assess the overall energy needs of your building before signing any contracts. To obtain a reliable basis and anticipate your budget, use our free RenoIndex estimator.

Generally, installing a heat pump requires a municipal building permit. It is recommended to contact the building department in Dübendorf to learn about local specifics, particularly regarding distances to property lines and potential noise disturbances for your neighbours.
Heat pumps are highly efficient because they extract a large part of their energy from the environment. The savings depend on the performance of the chosen system and your home's insulation, but switching to renewable energy significantly reduces fossil fuel consumption.
The best solution is to place the outdoor unit at a sufficient distance from sensitive areas. You can also opt for certified quiet models or install acoustic protections such as specific panels. Rigorous planning with your installer will ensure compliance with current noise standards.
First, use our RenoIndex estimator to get an indicative price range. Then, contact local companies specializing in heat pumps to obtain detailed quotes based on your actual needs and the technical characteristics of your building.
