A standard non-condensing boiler is usually older and less efficient.
For your renovation plans in Pfäffikon, official building register figures provide partial yet useful insights. With a median volume of 1275 m3 calculated from a small sample of 3 buildings, you should carefully assess the scale of your heating and insulation upgrades. Regarding heritage protection, none of the 175 known buildings are classified as protected, which may simplify your permit process. However, because data coverage is incomplete, we strongly advise contacting the municipality early in your planning phase. This ensures you confirm any specific local requirements or restrictions before proceeding with significant investments or structural changes.

Before opting for a heat pump, it is crucial to analyze your land's situation. First check whether your area can connect to a priority district heating network. This option might be simpler and more efficient depending on the available infrastructure.

A solid initial assessment will prevent unexpected costs and ensure that your installation fully complies with the current energy requirements in the canton of Zurich.
To ensure optimal comfort, the sizing of your future heat pump must be calculated carefully. The local design outdoor temperature sets the heat pump's capacity needed to heat your home efficiently, even during the coldest winter days.
