This distribution describes recorded buildings, not your system's consumption or efficiency.
| Energy | Heating | Hot water |
|---|---|---|
| Gas | 45 % | 37.6 % |
| Heating oil | 17 % | 12.7 % |
| District heating | 11 % | 8.3 % |
| Heat pump | 22 % | 7.1 % |
| Electricity | 2 % | 30.3 % |
| Wood | 3 % | 2.2 % |
| 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 plans in Lenzburg, official building registry data provides vital insights. With 219 buildings listed under heritage protection, it is essential to contact the municipality early to clarify permit requirements. The median building volume is 820 m3, a figure based on 6 buildings measured according to the SIA 416 standard, indicating that data coverage is partial for this metric. Understanding these values helps you accurately assess the scale of your planned heating and insulation upgrades, ensuring you approach your renovation project with the correct regulatory expectations and realistic dimensional estimates from the start.

First, check whether your area can connect to a priority district heating network. This option might be more advantageous in certain dense parts of Lenzburg.
Additionally, it is crucial to determine the heat pump's capacity based on the local design outdoor temperature, as this directly affects the system's performance.
A preliminary thermal study helps to avoid costly oversizing while ensuring optimal thermal comfort during the coldest periods of the year. Carefully plan these initial steps to ensure a long-term, economical heating solution.
The installation of outdoor air-water heat pumps requires special attention regarding noise. Such equipment must strictly meet noise limits towards neighbours. Poor placement of the outdoor unit can cause significant noise disturbances.
It is advisable to choose quieter models and carefully select the location, ideally away from living room windows or adjacent properties.
Careful planning helps maintain good relations with your neighbours while adhering to local noise protection regulations in the Canton of Aargau. Ensure professional installation to minimise sound reflection against exterior walls.
The efficiency of a heat pump largely depends on your building's insulation. Before installing a heat pump, it is often wise to improve the thermal envelope, for instance by replacing windows or insulating the facade and roof.
A well-insulated house allows the heat pump to operate at an optimal rate, thereby reducing your electricity consumption and bills.
