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.
3.1 % of buildings mix housing with shops or offices.
For your renovation projects in Suhr, understanding the building register data is vital. With 311 out of 1806 buildings under heritage protection, contacting the municipality early regarding permits is essential. The median house volume is 771 m3; however, this figure is based on only 8 buildings measured by the SIA 416 standard out of 1272 houses, indicating a very partial data coverage. Consequently, careful planning remains necessary to accurately determine the scope of heating or insulation work required for your specific property, as official statistics provide limited guidance regarding the structural realities of homes in this municipality.

Solar thermal collectors usually cover much of summer hot water. By investing in this technology, you gain energy independence and increase the value of your property in Suhr.
The system captures the sun's free energy to heat a heat-transfer fluid, which then transfers the heat to your hot water tank. It is a proven solution that limits your reliance on fossil fuels while lowering your annual energy bills.
The installation requires optimal roof exposure, ideally south-facing, to ensure maximum efficiency throughout the year.
Combining collectors with a heat pump needs a sizing study. It is crucial to assess your actual hot water needs based on the size of your household to avoid costly oversizing.
Proper sizing allows for a perfect synergy between the solar system and the heat pump, especially during shoulder seasons.
Careful planning by a qualified professional ensures the longevity of your equipment and smooth operation, thus minimizing the maintenance required over the years for your installation in Suhr.
Financial aids aim to encourage the energy transition by lowering the initial investment cost for solar thermal projects. Remember to check the eligibility criteria specific to the Canton of Aargau.
Although the amounts vary, these grants represent valuable assistance in easing your overall budget. Our RenoIndex estimator can help you estimate your total project costs to better plan your grant applications.
Before launching your project, ensure your roof is inspected by a specialist to check its load-bearing capacity and general condition. A successful renovation starts with an analysis of the current energy needs of your building in Suhr.
It is essential to compare several quotes from local craftsmen to get the best value for money. Remember that integrating solar collectors may sometimes require an administrative filing.

Yes, solar water heating significantly reduces your energy consumption for hot water. Profitability depends on installation costs, available grants, and your usage. Use the RenoIndex estimator to get a clear estimate of costs and plan your return on investment.
Grants depend on the current cantonal programmes. It is recommended to consult the official website of the Canton of Aargau or hire a certified energy advisor to identify the grants specific to your situation and your renovation project.
The necessary area depends on your number of residents and your annual hot water consumption. Professional sizing is essential to balance solar production with your actual needs and avoid any unnecessary energy waste in your domestic installation.
The system works all year round, but its production is optimal during sunny months. In winter, a backup system, often coupled with a heat pump, takes over to ensure constant hot water according to your daily needs.
