This distribution describes recorded buildings, not your system's consumption or efficiency.
| Energy | Heating | Hot water |
|---|---|---|
| Gas | 41 % | 23.9 % |
| Heating oil | 29 % | 15.7 % |
| District heating | 2 % | 1.2 % |
| Heat pump | 22 % | 8.8 % |

| Wood | 2 % | 1.6 % |
| Solar thermal | 0 % | 1.3 % |
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 project in Buchs (AG), the official building register (RegBL) indicates that 234 buildings out of 1433 recorded are under heritage protection. If your property is classified, contacting the municipality early is essential to navigate permit requirements. Please be aware that the data coverage for this area is partial, as specific figures regarding building volume and the year of the last renovation are not recorded in the register. We recommend verifying these technical details through your own property documentation to ensure accurate planning and budgeting for your future renovation works within the municipality.

Before starting your heat pump installation project, it is essential to check whether your area can be connected to a priority district heating network.
In some sectors, authorities encourage or require connection to these networks to optimize overall energy consumption. Check with the technical services of the municipality of Buchs or consult your local energy plan.
If a collective alternative is available, it may prove more advantageous than an individual solution. A preliminary analysis will save you unnecessary costs and ensure your installation complies with the local long-term energy strategy.
The success of a heat pump relies on precise sizing. The local design outdoor temperature is the determining factor for the capacity of your machine.
In Buchs, this data must be taken into account by your installer to guarantee effective heating even on the coldest days of the year. An undersized system risks wasting electricity, while an oversized one reduces the compressor's lifespan.
Consult a qualified heating engineer to perform a rigorous thermal assessment of your building before any purchase to select the most suitable model for your home.
Installing an outdoor air-water heat pump requires meeting strict noise limits towards your neighbours. The noise emitted by the fan can become a source of conflict if the location is not chosen carefully.
Prioritize placement away from bedroom windows and quiet areas. There are also acoustic enclosures or noise barriers available that can significantly reduce sound emissions. If in doubt, an acoustic study can validate the project.
Respecting these neighbourly rules is essential to ensure everyone's tranquility and the longevity of your installation.
The budget for a new heat pump installation can vary significantly depending on the chosen technology, the size of your building, and the necessary adaptation work on your current heat distribution system.

In Buchs, as elsewhere, regulations can vary depending on the type of heat pump and its location. It is recommended to consult the municipal building department before starting your work to find out if a permit is required for your specific project.
Heat pumps work optimally with low-temperature heating systems, such as underfloor heating. However, efficient solutions now exist for conventional radiators. An expert will be able to assess your existing installation to ensure maximum efficiency.
The installation of a heat pump generally takes between three and five days for the technical part. However, allow for a longer timeline including planning, dismantling the old heating system, and any necessary electrical or plumbing work.
Grants for energy renovation are managed at the cantonal and national levels. For Buchs, consult the promotion program of the canton of Aargau. You will find all information on eligibility criteria and application procedures directly on the canton's website.
