This distribution describes recorded buildings, not your system's consumption or efficiency.
| Energy | Heating | Hot water |
|---|---|---|
| Gas | 44 % | 40 % |
| Heating oil | 26 % | 23.9 % |
| District heating | 2 % | 1.2 % |
| Heat pump | 23 % | 11.2 % |
| Electricity | 1 % | 15.3 % |
| Wood | 5 % | 3.3 % |
| Solar thermal | 0 % | 3.6 % |
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.
When planning your renovation in Frauenfeld, refer to the federal building registry data to guide your budget. With a median volume of 954 m3 for the 21 houses measured by the SIA 416 standard, you can gauge the scope for heating and insulation work. Please note that data coverage is partial, as most buildings rely on other standards. Since information regarding renovation years and heritage protection is not currently recorded, you should consult the municipality directly early in your process to confirm local regulations and requirements before finalizing any construction plans for your home.

First check whether your area can connect to a priority district heating network. If this is possible, it is often the preferred choice by local authorities. Next, the local design outdoor temperature sets the heat pump's capacity required for your home.
A thermal analysis of your building is recommended to avoid oversizing the system.
Consulting with a qualified professional allows you to validate these criteria and select the equipment that is best suited to the specific configuration of your plot and heating demand.
It is crucial to choose a strategic location, away from the neighbours' bedrooms, and plan for noise insulation if necessary.
Careful positioning not only avoids noise pollution but also prevents neighbourly conflicts, ensuring the long-term viability of your heating installation and keeping your home environment peaceful and compliant.
Transitioning to a heat pump is a significant investment, but one that is profitable in the medium term.
In addition to the cost of the unit itself, budget for installation work, possible modifications to the heat distribution system (such as switching to underfloor heating), and the electrical connection. Do not forget to include fees for any necessary permits.
To get a realistic cost estimate, use our RenoIndex tool. This will help you visualize the different price ranges based on the technical complexity of your specific project.
A successful installation relies on choosing competent partners. It is highly advisable to engage certified companies familiar with technical specifications and the requirements of the canton of Thurgau.
These experts can advise you on optimal sizing, integrating your heat pump into existing systems, and handling administrative procedures. By collaborating with professionals, you ensure the durability, performance, and energy efficiency of your system.

On average, a well-maintained heat pump has a lifespan of 15 to 20 years. Regular maintenance by a professional is essential to ensure efficiency and prolong longevity while avoiding costly repairs.
It is highly recommended to improve thermal insulation to maximize the efficiency of the heat pump. A well-insulated house requires less energy to heat, which reduces the size of the unit needed and significantly lowers your monthly electricity bills.
No, it is not mandatory. Although underfloor heating is ideal because it operates at low temperatures, modern heat pumps can also work with high-performance radiators that are well-sized for the pump's temperature regime.
