| Gas | 31 % | 29.2 % |
| Heating oil | 38 % | 33.8 % |
| District heating | 3 % | 2.4 % |

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.
For renovation planning in Küsnacht, official building register figures provide key insights for homeowners. With a median volume of 741 m3 across 24 buildings measured by the SIA 416 standard, these metrics help gauge the scale of necessary insulation or heating upgrades, though data coverage remains partial. Regarding heritage status, 374 buildings are known, yet no protected structures are currently recorded. Despite this, it is essential to contact the municipality early in your planning process. Early consultation ensures that your project aligns with local regulations and requirements, helping you avoid potential complications during the official permit application phase.

Before embarking on a heat pump installation, the first step is to examine the available network alternatives. It is imperative to check whether your area can connect to a priority district heating network.
In some areas, cantonal or municipal energy policies favour collective connections over individual systems. Analysing these options will save you from unnecessary investments and ensure compliance with local energy planning.
If in doubt, consult the relevant energy department or use RenoIndex to compare the costs associated with various thermal solutions adapted to your home.
The success of a heat pump installation relies on rigorous sizing. The local design outdoor temperature sets the capacity required to heat your home efficiently throughout the winter.
An oversized system will lead to inefficient short cycles, while an undersized unit will not guarantee optimal thermal comfort. It is advisable to carry out an energy audit beforehand to assess your building's insulation.
RenoIndex assists you in this process by providing visibility into the projected costs based on the size and specific needs of your property in Küsnacht.
Installing an air-water heat pump requires special attention regarding the location of the outdoor unit. These systems must strictly meet noise limits towards neighbours to avoid any disputes.
It is crucial to choose a quiet model and position it intelligently to minimise noise pollution. Also, consider installing noise-cancelling devices or landscaping around the unit. Careful planning is essential to maintain good neighbourly relations.

Air-water heat pumps produce a slight ventilation noise. To comply with the law and respect your neighbours, you must meet strict noise limits. The positioning of the outdoor unit is decisive. In cases of immediate proximity to resting areas, acoustic protection is essential.
Combining grants depends on the current cantonal and federal programmes. We recommend that you check the current conditions with the competent authorities before starting your project. RenoIndex provides you with an overview to include these aids in your budget.
