Compare Swiss heating systems
Immediate result
When choosing a new heating system, there are other important factors to consider besides procurement costs - for example, running costs, service life and environmental impact.
Our heating calculator compares oil, gas, wood, heat pump (earth & air) and district heating systems for you. In addition to the costs, we also take into account your individual energy requirements, the expected remaining service life of your current heating system and the CO2 emissions..
With the help of a brief description of the property - heating system and current energy consumption - we compare the different alternatives.
Based on your initial situation and thousands of empirical values, the costs of various heating systems are calculated.
Once the analysis is complete, you will receive online access to your individual heating comparison by mail.
Particularly when replacing a heating system, the property's further renovation needs should be examined. For example, it may be worthwhile to renovate the facade at the same time as the heating system is replaced. This way you can save a lot of money and also have peace of mind for longer afterwards. With Houzy, you can check the renovation needs of your property at the same time.
By switching from an old to a modern heating system, you can benefit from increased use of renewable energy. In addition to heat pumps, sustainable heating systems include wood heating, district heating and solar energy.

Check the solar potential of any house and simulate self-consumption.
Simulate the impact of energy measures on the energy efficiency of your property.
Self-produced solar electricity is cheaper than electricity from the grid. That's why homeowners with photovoltaic systems should consume as much solar power as possible. With a heat pump, you optimize your own consumption because you can better coordinate production and consumption. If you use solar power for your heat pump, you will additionally reduce electricity costs and save even more money than with a heat pump without a photovoltaic system.
Heat pumps work on the same principle as refrigerators, the Joule-Thompson phenomenon, but in reverse: the refrigerator extracts heat from its interior to cool, the heat pump extracts heat from the earth, groundwater or air to heat. Depending on energy efficiency, two to five units of heat are generated from one unit of electricity.
For the environment immediately. With a heat pump, you reduce the CO2 emissions of your heating system by 98 percent. For your budget in the medium term. Although you have to reckon with higher amortization compared to oil or gas heating due to the higher purchase price, you save a lot of money thanks to lower energy and maintenance costs. With our heating comparison, for example, you can calculate how quickly the switch pays off.
The federal government, cantons and municipalities provide financial support to homeowners who replace their old heating system with a heat pump, for example. The amount of the subsidies varies from canton to canton and from municipality to municipality. If you enter your zip code on energiefranken.ch (only available in German, French and Italian), you will receive an overview of all the support programs and can submit the application online.
The operating costs consist of the heating costs and maintenance costs. The heating costs depend on the model. For an average single-family home with 150 square meters of living space, calculate heating costs of about 1,300 Swiss francs for an air-to-air heat pump, about 1,150 Swiss francs for an air-to-water heat pump and about 900 Swiss francs for a brine-to-water heat pump per year. In addition, there are 250 Swiss francs in maintenance costs.
Prices range from 32,500 Swiss francs for an air-to-air heat pump to 40,000 Swiss francs for an air-to-water heat pump and 50,000 Swiss francs for a brine-to-water heat pump for an average single-family home with 150 square meters of living space. The installation is included. The air-to-air heat pump is by far the most purchased and installed in Switzerland.
