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.
10.3 % of buildings mix housing with shops or offices.
For your renovation projects in Zurzach, the RegBL figures provide essential benchmarks. With 433 buildings under heritage protection, it is vital to contact the municipality early to address permit requirements. The median house volume of 936 m3, measured according to the SIA 416 standard, helps determine the scale of necessary heating or insulation works. Please note that data coverage for building volume is partial, as only 14 measurements are recorded out of 1452 houses. Careful planning is recommended before beginning any energy or structural upgrades to ensure your project aligns with local regulations and site-specific constraints.

Solar thermal systems rely on collectors installed on your roof that absorb radiation to heat a transfer fluid. This fluid then transfers the heat to a storage tank.
Solar thermal collectors usually cover much of summer hot water, reducing reliance on primary heating systems during warmer months.
It is essential to check the inclination and orientation of your roof, ideally facing south, to optimize the annual performance of your installation in Zurzach. A proper sizing ensures the system works efficiently and provides maximum benefit for your home.
Choosing the right equipment depends on the size of your household and your water needs. Combining collectors with a heat pump needs a sizing study to ensure both systems work optimally. This hybridization allows for better annual energy management.
By working with professionals, you ensure that the hot water storage is adapted to the actual production of your panels, thus avoiding any energy waste and ensuring maximum durability for your components, while significantly improving the comfort of your home in Zurzach.
It is advisable to consult the official website of your canton to find out the specific terms in effect. These grants can significantly reduce the payback period.
Remember to submit your grant applications before starting work, as eligibility conditions may vary depending on current programs. Good preparation often leads to a successful application and faster project approval.
Once installed, your system requires little maintenance, but regular checks are recommended to ensure longevity. Periodically check the pressure of the heat transfer fluid and the condition of the electronic components.
A professional can perform annual maintenance to clean the collectors and ensure the control system is working perfectly. Diligent maintenance extends the lifespan of your equipment and maximizes your energy savings over the long term in Zurzach.

On average, a well-maintained solar thermal system can last between 20 and 25 years. The collectors are particularly robust, while the storage tank and electronic components may require replacement after approximately 15 years. Regular maintenance helps to maintain this performance over the entire period.
Yes, solar collectors work even in winter if the sky is clear, although the yield is lower due to shorter days and reduced solar intensity. The system acts as preheating, reducing the effort needed to heat the water via your main boiler. It is a useful addition.
