Investment costs of a heat pump heating system

The costs of a heat pump heating system depend on how your house is constructed and which type of heat pump is most suitable. The investment costs differ considerably depending on the type of system (e.g. air/water heat pump vs geothermal solution). The initial investment is higher than for gas or oil heating, but the operating costs are lower in most cases. This makes the heat pump one of the most economical heating solutions over its entire useful life.

Low operating and maintenance costs

The heat pump reveals its strengths during operation. It uses around 75% free energy from nature and requires around 25% power. This generally means that running costs are significantly lower than for fossil heating systems or wood or pellet heating systems. For you, this means lower heating costs and your costs are easier to plan over many years.

Financing options

You can finance your heat pump in various ways: using your own funds, by increasing your mortgage or with a loan. Subsidies from the federal government, cantons and municipalities also help to reduce your investment costs. Visit energiefranken.ch for an overview of the subsidies available in your region.

Benefit from subsidies

When switching to a heat pump, you can benefit from certain subsidies. The federal government, cantons and municipalities support the switch to renewable heating systems with financial contributions that reduce your investment costs. The level of funding depends on your region and project. Check your options before switching your heating system: subsidies must be applied for before starting the project.
