| Gas | 1 % | 1.4 % |
| Heating oil | 53 % | 34.2 % |
| District heating | 1 % | 1 % |
| Heat pump | 38 % | 25.9 % |

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 Niederhasli, the Federal Building and Dwelling Register provides key insights, though data coverage remains partial. The median building volume is 2553 m3, which serves as a crucial reference for scaling your heating systems or planning energy-efficient insulation. Regarding heritage protection, only 21 buildings have documented status. Given this limited data, we strongly advise contacting the local municipality early in your planning process. Early consultation ensures you confirm whether your property is subject to specific heritage permits or architectural restrictions, allowing you to navigate the local approval process for your renovation project effectively.

Before starting your work in Niederhasli, it is crucial to study the connection options. First, check whether your area can connect to a priority district heating network, as this might be a more suitable alternative than an individual installation.
Then, evaluate your building's current thermal insulation. A heat pump is more efficient when the heat demand is low.
Remember that the local design outdoor temperature sets the heat pump's capacity required to keep your interior warm during extremely cold weather.
There are several types of heat pumps, including air-to-water, ground-to-water, or water-to-water models. The choice will depend on the geology of your land and available space. Air-to-water heat pumps are widely used due to their ease of installation.
However, it is mandatory that outdoor air-to-water heat pumps meet noise limits towards neighbours to avoid any disputes. Proper sizing by a professional is essential to avoid excessive electricity consumption.
Consult RenoIndex to compare cost ranges based on your chosen model and to plan your budget with confidence.
In Switzerland, installing a heat pump is subject to strict regulations regarding noise emissions and energy efficiency. In the canton of Zurich, homeowners must ensure that their equipment meets current cantonal requirements.
