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.
11.3 % of buildings mix housing with shops or offices.
For your renovation projects in Freienbach, the official building register provides key indicators for planning. The median building volume is 1420 m3; however, this figure based on SIA 416 standards is only available for 23 of the 1289 houses, indicating that data coverage remains very partial. This information is critical for assessing the scale of necessary heating or insulation upgrades. As there are no records for renovation years or heritage protection status, we advise homeowners to contact the municipality directly to clarify local building regulations and permit requirements before initiating any renovation work on their property.

Integrating solar thermal panels allows you to transform free energy from the sun into heat for your home. Solar thermal collectors usually cover much of summer hot water, reducing the load on your main boiler.
It is a sustainable solution that increases the value of your property while reducing your ecological footprint. By using solar radiation instead of fossil fuels, you gain energy independence.
Remember that the success of the installation relies on optimal panel orientation and regular maintenance to maintain efficiency over the long term.
A successful solar project begins with a careful feasibility study. If you are considering a hybrid approach, note that combining collectors with a heat pump needs a sizing study.
This ensures perfect compatibility between different equipment and guarantees maximum performance all year round. Experts recommend analyzing your actual hot water needs and the roof area available before ordering anything.
To get a precise idea of costs for different sizing options, the RenoIndex simulator remains the simplest and fastest solution in Switzerland.

A well-maintained solar thermal system can last between 20 and 25 years. The solar collectors themselves are very durable, although some peripheral components, such as pumps or the heat transfer fluid, may require maintenance or replacement after about fifteen years.
Yes, the system works even in winter, provided there is solar radiation. However, energy production is reduced compared to summer. In winter, the system primarily serves as support for preheating water, thereby limiting the total consumption of your main boiler.
Generally, solar installations that are well integrated into roofs do not require a building permit, but a prior notification procedure may be mandatory. Always check with the local authorities in Freienbach before starting your work to understand any local specifics.
