Renovations, heritage and volumes
For your renovation plans in Aesch, the RegBL data shows that 745 buildings are protected by heritage status, requiring you to contact the municipality early to navigate permit regulations. Regarding scale, the building volume data covers 1570 houses with a median volume of 730 m3. However, since the volume measured according to the SIA 416 standard is available for only 30 buildings, the data coverage is partial. Please keep this limitation in mind when calculating the necessary scope for your heating or insulation upgrades to ensure your renovation budget and planning remain accurate for your specific home.

Analyzing the local energy source
Before starting, it is crucial to check whether your neighborhood can connect to a priority district heating network. If a collective solution is available, it may be more beneficial than an individual installation.
If you choose a heat pump, the local design outdoor temperature determines the required capacity of your unit. A precise assessment by a professional avoids costly oversizing and ensures optimal operation throughout the winter.
Consult the RenoIndex tool to estimate the costs of this preliminary study phase in CHF.
Neighbourhood considerations and noise
The installation of air-water heat pumps, which are very common in Switzerland, requires careful attention to noise levels. These outdoor units must strictly comply with noise limits toward your neighbours.
Poorly positioned units can cause unnecessary noise and potential disputes. It is highly recommended to include soundproofing measures early in the project, such as sound screens or strategic placement away from bedroom windows.
Rigorous planning guarantees harmonious living. Use the RenoIndex tool to factor these comfort parameters into your renovation budget in CHF.
Thermal optimization of the building
The efficiency of a heat pump depends directly on your home's insulation. Before sizing the unit, ensure that your windows, roof, and facades are well insulated. A heat pump works best with low temperatures, such as with underfloor heating.
If you use traditional radiators, consider replacing them with low-temperature models to improve the system's overall performance. These optimization measures reduce long-term electricity consumption.
RenoIndex provides support by giving you an estimated price range for these renovation tasks.
Maintenance and system upkeep
Once installed, your heat pump requires regular maintenance to ensure longevity and energy efficiency. It is advisable to enter into a service contract with a specialized company.
This includes annual checks of technical components, cleaning of filters, and monitoring of refrigerants. Professional maintenance helps detect efficiency losses quickly.
Investing in good maintenance provides peace of mind and extends the lifespan of your installation. Find tips on the costs of these services and other renovation projects on the RenoIndex platform.

Frequently asked questions
Is a heat pump suitable for all homes?
Most homes can benefit, especially if well-insulated. However, for very old and poorly insulated buildings, prior thermal renovation is strongly recommended to ensure the system's efficiency and overall cost-effectiveness.
What is the advantage of underfloor heating?
Underfloor heating operates at low temperatures, which is ideal for heat pumps. This allows for better energy performance and a more homogeneous and comfortable heat distribution throughout the house.
Is the outdoor unit's noise annoying?
With correct installation and compliance with distances, noise is minimal. Solutions such as acoustic screens can dampen the sound and ensure perfect compliance with neighbourly rules.
