This distribution describes recorded buildings, not your system's consumption or efficiency.
| Energy | Heating | Hot water |

| Gas | 52 % | 47.7 % |
| Heating oil | 20 % | 13.3 % |
| District heating | 14 % | 13.5 % |

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 Pratteln, official records show that 947 buildings are under heritage protection. If your property is classified, you must contact municipal authorities early to navigate permit requirements. Regarding building volume, the median is 630 m3, although this figure is based on only 21 buildings measured according to SIA 416 standards out of 1690 houses total. Given this partial data coverage, homeowners should treat these scale figures with caution when estimating the extent of heating or insulation works, as exact dimensions for the vast majority of local properties remain unavailable in the current register.

Before opting for a heat pump, first check whether your area can connect to a priority district heating network. In some zones, authorities prioritize this collective solution to optimize energy usage.
If this option is not available, a heat pump becomes an excellent alternative. It is crucial to evaluate the compatibility of your current heat emitters, such as radiators, with the operating temperatures of a heat pump.
A prior energy audit helps confirm that your building is sufficiently insulated to ensure optimal performance throughout the winter.
Sizing is a key step in your installation. The local design outdoor temperature sets the heat pump's capacity needed to comfortably heat your home.
An improperly sized system risks consuming too much energy or failing to provide sufficient comfort during cold spells. It is recommended to consult a qualified professional to calculate your home's actual needs based on its volume and insulation.

It is important to position the unit to limit noise nuisance, avoiding pointing it directly at neighbouring bedroom windows. Sound insulation devices can be installed if space is tight.
Rigorous planning helps avoid neighbourhood conflicts while benefiting from the ecological and economic advantages of your new heating installation.
Installing a heat pump is a significant investment, but it provides lasting added value to your property. To structure your budget, start by requesting several quotes from recognized local companies.
Do not forget to inquire about financial aid available at the cantonal or federal level for this type of energy transition. Thorough preparation will allow you to carry out your work without major financial surprises.

A well-maintained heat pump generally has a lifespan of between 15 and 20 years. Regular maintenance by a professional is essential to extend its longevity, maintain its energy performance, and avoid costly breakdowns over the years.
No, underfloor heating is not mandatory. However, it is ideal because it operates at low temperatures, which optimizes the heat pump's efficiency. Low-temperature radiators can also be an effective solution in case of renovation.
Requirements vary depending on the location and type of heat pump, especially for geothermal models. Check with local planning departments to find out the formalities specific to Pratteln, as cantonal rules may impose administrative procedures for air-water heat pumps.
