This distribution describes recorded buildings, not your system's consumption or efficiency.
| Energy | Heating | Hot water |
|---|---|---|
| Gas | 53 % | 47.5 % |
| Heating oil | 23 % | 15.2 % |
| District heating | 3 % | 4.2 % |
| Heat pump | 15 % | 7.4 % |
| Electricity | 2 % | 19.2 % |
| Wood | 4 % | 1.8 % |
| Solar thermal | 0 % | 3.9 % |
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 renovation planning in Schaffhausen, the current official building register data provides no specific figures regarding renovation years, heritage protection status, or building volumes. Because this coverage is effectively absent for these metrics, you cannot rely on register data to determine the scale of your insulation works or permit requirements. Consequently, we advise you to contact the municipality of Schaffhausen directly to confirm the regulatory status of your property. Engaging with local authorities early is essential to ensure your project aligns with all municipal requirements, as these specific building register parameters remain unavailable for analysis.

Before starting the process of installing a heat pump, first check whether your area can connect to a priority district heating network. In some areas, authorities favour collective solutions to optimize overall energy efficiency.
Checking with the city services in advance will save you unnecessary investments. If district heating is not an option, the heat pump remains one of the most efficient alternatives.
RenoIndex helps you calculate installation costs to compare the different solutions available for your property.
The capacity of your future heat pump should not be chosen at random. The local design outdoor temperature sets the heat pump's capacity needed to guarantee optimal comfort, even on the coldest winter days.
Correct sizing prevents premature compressor wear and ensures controlled electricity consumption. It is recommended to use a qualified installer who will take into account the specific heating needs of your building.
Do not forget to consult our RenoIndex estimator to get a cost estimate adapted to your situation.
An experienced installer will be able to advise you on the quietest models and the ideal location on your plot to ensure perfect harmony with your neighbourhood while complying with current regulations.
Replacing a heating system represents a significant investment for any homeowner. In addition to the equipment purchase, one must budget for labor costs for installation, any hydraulic circuit modifications, and electrical compliance work.
To better understand these costs, we recommend using the RenoIndex simulator. It will provide you with a realistic price range for your heat pump project, allowing you to compare the offers received from professionals.
Proper financial planning is the guarantee of a successful energy transition without any unpleasant budget surprises.
