| Gas | 28 % | 20.8 % |
| Heating oil | 41 % | 35.6 % |
| District heating | 1 % | 0.4 % |

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.
12.9 % of buildings mix housing with shops or offices.
For renovation projects in Baar, the official building register provides essential insights. Regarding heritage protection, 808 buildings are classified as protected out of 939 known cases, making early consultation with municipal authorities vital for your permit process. The median house volume is 1719 m3, which helps determine the scale for heating and insulation upgrades. Please be aware that these volume figures are based on only 10 units measured via the SIA 416 standard. Consequently, the data coverage is partial, and homeowners should consider these limitations when planning renovation budgets or assessing technical requirements for their specific property.

Solar thermal collectors are an efficient solution for domestic hot water production. By using solar radiation, these systems allow for a significant reduction in fossil fuel consumption.
It is important to note that solar thermal collectors usually cover much of the hot water demand during the summer period. This type of investment increases the value of your property in Baar while reducing your carbon footprint.
A well-sized system ensures optimal comfort all year round, even though a backup system remains necessary for less sunny days.
The successful integration of a solar system depends on a rigorous preliminary study. If you are considering coupling your collectors with another source, be aware that combining collectors with a heat pump needs a sizing study.
This calculation helps to harmonize energy flows and avoid summer overheating or winter shortages. It is highly recommended to consult a professional to assess the orientation of your roof, its tilt, and the actual needs of your household.
Precise sizing ensures the profitability of your investment and extends the equipment's lifespan.
Although conditions may vary, it is essential to inquire before starting work to meet eligibility criteria. Keep in mind that these grants are often subject to specific technical requirements regarding the energy efficiency of the chosen equipment.

Once installed, your solar system requires regular maintenance to maintain high efficiency. It is advisable to have the heat transfer fluid, system pressure, and condition of the collectors checked every few years by a qualified technician.
In Baar, weather conditions can sometimes strain materials; a visual check after storms or heavy snowfall is therefore good practice.
Preventative maintenance not only helps avoid costly breakdowns but also ensures constant hot water production throughout the year for your domestic comfort.

A high-quality solar thermal system, when maintained regularly, can function efficiently for 20 to 25 years. The collectors themselves are very durable, while some system components, such as pumps or the electronic controller, may require replacement after about 15 years of use.
Yes, solar collectors work even in cold weather as they capture solar radiation rather than ambient temperature. However, in winter, sunlight is lower and days are shorter, so the system must be coupled with a backup source such as a boiler or a heat pump.
It is strongly advised against installing solar collectors yourself, especially due to the risks of working at height and handling thermal fluids. Certified installation is often required to benefit from grants and to ensure the safety and performance of your system.
