How much does replacing a heating system cost?

The cost depends on the system chosen. A condensing gas boiler costs between CHF 12,000 and 18,000 (installation included). An air-to-water heat pump is between CHF 25,000 and 40,000. Cantonal subsidies can cover 30 to 50% of the cost for renewable energy.

Is a heat pump suitable for my building?

Heat pumps suit most buildings, especially well-insulated ones. An energy assessment determines the optimal solution. Air-to-water heat pumps are the most common and easily replace an oil boiler.

How often should a boiler be serviced?

Annual servicing is mandatory for oil boilers and recommended for gas boilers. It includes burner cleaning, emissions testing and safety checks. Proper maintenance reduces consumption by 5 to 10% and extends the appliance's lifespan.

What subsidies exist for renewable heating?

The federal Building Programme subsidises the replacement of fossil heating systems. French-speaking cantons offer additional support: up to CHF 10,000 for a heat pump in Vaud, with similar amounts in Geneva and Valais. Our partners guide you through the process.

What are the alternatives to oil heating in Western Switzerland?

A heat pump (air-to-water or geothermal), pellet or wood heating, connection to district heating (CAD) where available, or solar thermal as a supplement. A CECB+ audit helps you make the right choice.

Can underfloor heating be installed in a renovation?

Yes, with low-profile systems (15-30 mm) laid on the existing flooring. Ideal with a heat pump. Door thresholds sometimes need to be raised. Your installer will assess feasibility.

Heating: boilers and heat pumps

Our heating engineers install and maintain all heating systems: condensing gas boilers, high-efficiency oil boilers, automatic pellet boilers, heat pumps (air-to-water, geothermal, air-to-air) and solar thermal for hot water. We advise you on the best solution for your building and energy-saving goals.

Ventilation and air quality

Good ventilation is essential for health and comfort. Our technicians install mechanical ventilation systems (single and double-flow with heat recovery), kitchen and bathroom extractors, and air conditioning for warm days. A double-flow system can recover up to 90% of heat from extracted air.

Plumbing and bathroom fitting

From complete bathroom renovations to new kitchen installations, our plumbers carry out all sanitary work with precision. Tap replacement, walk-in shower installation, bathtub fitting, appliance connections, every job is done with care and guaranteed. We also respond to emergencies for leaks and water damage.

Factors that influence the price of plumbing and heating

The cost varies with the type of work: boiler replacement, heat pump installation or bathroom renovation. The complexity of the connections and the chosen materials influence the quote.

For heat pumps, geothermal drilling costs more than an air-to-water system. Cantonal subsidies can cover a significant share of the cost. Request your free quotes via Edirex.

Energy regulations and subsidies in Western Switzerland

The MoPEC governs the requirements for heating systems. Vaud and Geneva have voted to phase out oil heating. The federal Buildings Programme and cantonal programmes offer subsidies for heat pumps, pellets, solar thermal and district heating (CAD) connection.

A CECB/CECB+ audit is the ideal tool to plan your energy transition. Edirex installers know the programmes of each canton.

Choosing the right plumber or heating engineer

Check for a CFC in plumbing or heating installation. For heat pumps, specific certification is recommended. Check manufacturer accreditations and local after-sales service.
