This distribution describes recorded buildings, not your system's consumption or efficiency.
| Energy | Heating | Hot water |
|---|---|---|
| Gas | 38 % | 39.1 % |
| Heating oil | 18 % | 15 % |
| District heating | 11 % | 9.4 % |
| Heat pump | 29 % | 16.5 % |
| Electricity | 1 % | 15.7 % |
| Wood | 4 % | 3 % |
| Solar thermal | 0 % | 1.1 % |
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 planning in Winterthur, data from the federal building register (RegBL) provides useful insights despite partial coverage. The median building volume of 692 m3 helps estimate the scale of heating or insulation works, though this figure represents only a small portion of the 8665 registered houses. Regarding heritage protection, there are 2823 buildings with known status, though none are currently marked as protected. Given the limited nature of these statistics, we strongly recommend contacting the municipal authorities early in your planning process to verify specific local regulations or heritage constraints before proceeding with any construction projects.

Before purchasing a heat pump, a crucial step is to check whether your area can connect to a priority district heating network. In some zones, public infrastructure projects may prioritize collective heating systems to optimize overall energy efficiency.
Checking with local technical services helps you avoid unnecessary investments in an individual system if a more sustainable alternative is already planned for your sector.
An initial feasibility study ensures that your technological choice remains consistent with urban energy developments, allowing you to invest confidently in a future-proof heating system for your home.
The capacity of your future heat pump must not be chosen at random. The local design outdoor temperature is the deciding factor for calculating the required capacity. In Switzerland, this parameter varies depending on altitude and regional climate specifics.
Correct sizing ensures consistent thermal comfort during the coldest months while optimizing the lifespan of your compressor.
A heating expert will use these precise climate data points to size your installation optimally, preventing unnecessary energy consumption and ensuring your system operates efficiently under all seasonal conditions in your specific location.
If you choose an air-water heat pump installed outdoors, it is imperative to meet noise limits towards neighbours. These devices produce a continuous sound level which, if poorly placed, can become a source of conflict.
It is advisable to position the outdoor unit away from rest areas, such as bedrooms, and to use acoustic screens if necessary. Compliance with current legislation is essential to ensure harmonious integration of your installation within the neighbourhood.
Careful planning of the location from the outset allows you to reconcile thermal comfort with a peaceful social life.
Energy renovation is a significant investment. To properly prepare your project, it is essential to know the costs in advance. Our free RenoIndex estimator allows you to obtain a personalized price range adapted to your situation.
By having a clear vision of the budget, you can better compare quotes from local installers and plan the steps of your project with confidence.
Do not forget to include installation fees, any necessary adaptations to your existing heat distribution system, and future maintenance costs in your calculations for a complete and transparent financial plan.

Yes, in most cases, the installation of a heat pump requires a cantonal or municipal permit, particularly regarding noise regulation compliance. It is recommended to contact local authorities before starting work to verify the specific requirements for your land and ensure all legal criteria are fully met.
A well-maintained heat pump generally has an average lifespan of 15 to 20 years. Regular maintenance by a certified professional is essential to guarantee its energy efficiency over the long term and prevent costly system breakdowns that could result from lack of proper care.
Yes, a heat pump can work with traditional radiators. However, a low-temperature system is preferable to optimize efficiency. It may be necessary to replace existing radiators with larger models to effectively distribute heat throughout the rooms and ensure the heat pump runs at its best.
Yes, many models of reversible heat pumps allow you to cool your home during the summer. This system reverses the cycle to absorb heat from the indoors and reject it outside, providing optimal thermal comfort throughout the entire year.
