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.
9.4 % of buildings mix housing with shops or offices.
For your renovation projects in Oberglatt, official RegBL figures provide essential planning guidance. The median building volume is 847 m3 based on the SIA 416 standard, although this measurement covers only 22 out of 585 houses, indicating limited data availability. Regarding heritage protection, out of 141 recorded buildings, none are currently listed as protected. Regardless, contacting the municipality early is advisable to clarify local requirements for your specific property. These technical insights assist in estimating the scale of heating or insulation works. Use this data as a foundation to plan your renovation efficiently and ensure all local regulations are met.

Installing solar thermal collectors allows for the production of free energy through solar radiation. Solar thermal collectors usually cover much of summer hot water.
By reducing your reliance on gas or oil boilers during sunny months, you lower your operating costs and carbon footprint. It is a robust solution that ensures consistent hot water production when the weather permits.
Before choosing your model, make sure to check the RenoIndex to compare average installation costs and refine your overall budget for this energy upgrade, which is essential for any modern building.
Correctly sizing your solar installation is a crucial step to ensure efficiency. It is not just about installing panels, but about adapting the collection surface to your actual hot water needs and household size.
Combining collectors with a heat pump needs a sizing study. Poor configuration can lead to overheating in summer or lack of hot water in winter. A qualified installer will evaluate your roof to optimize tilt and orientation.
Do not hesitate to request a price estimate on RenoIndex to anticipate your expenses and better discuss options with local professionals.
In the canton of Zurich, it is recommended to regularly check the current cantonal programs, as conditions may evolve. These grants can significantly reduce the payback period for your thermal system.
To find out about potential savings, use the RenoIndex estimator. It provides a clear overview of the price range and helps you plan your investment while incorporating potential savings from available grants.
A well-maintained solar installation can last over twenty years. Regular maintenance is essential to ensure the proper functioning of the heat transfer circuit and the integrity of the collectors.
It is advisable to have the fluids and electronic components checked by a professional every few years. Proactive maintenance prevents costly breakdowns and maintains optimal performance throughout the year.
Use RenoIndex to get a clear idea of the costs associated with such installations in Oberglatt. Rigorous budget planning, including maintenance, will ensure long-term peace of mind while actively contributing to the Swiss energy transition.

The required area depends on your hot water needs and building insulation. Generally, count about 1 to 1.5 m² of collectors per person in the household. A qualified installer will perform a precise sizing to avoid unnecessary costs.
Profitability depends on savings on your current energy bills. While grants speed up payback, annual savings on oil or gas make the installation advantageous in the long term, especially given rising energy prices.
Yes, but with reduced efficiency. In winter, solar radiation is weaker and days are shorter. Solar thermal collectors then serve as preheating support, but your main heating system will take over to reach the desired temperature.
Generally, roof-mounted solar installations are subject to a notification procedure at the cantonal level. It is advisable to check with local authorities if your building is protected or in a specific zone before starting works.
