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 projects in Bülach, the Federal Register of Buildings and Dwellings (RegBL) figures offer essential guidance. With 1 building officially listed as protected out of 2304 records, it is vital to contact the municipality early to address permit requirements. The median building volume stands at 727 m3 based on the SIA 416 standard, which is critical for scaling your heating or insulation upgrades. Please note that data coverage is partial, as the volume was specifically measured for only 237 out of the 994 houses registered. These metrics help you accurately estimate renovation costs and local regulatory needs.

Yes, it is generally necessary to submit an application for a building permit to the municipality for a heat pump installation, especially for outdoor units. Check with the local building authority to find out which forms are required and what the processing times are for your application.
Yes, this is entirely possible, but it often requires good thermal insulation beforehand. In older buildings, checking the capacity of existing radiators is recommended to ensure that the heat pump will be able to heat your home efficiently.
Installing a heat pump takes on average between three and five working days. The duration can vary depending on the complexity of connecting to the existing heating system and the electrical adjustment work required on-site.
A well-maintained heat pump typically has a lifespan of between 15 and 20 years. An annual maintenance performed by a professional is essential to maximise its performance and longevity.
