Replacing your heating in Riggisberg: what you should know
How Riggisberg heats today
According to the Register of Buildings and Dwellings, 31.3% of residential buildings in Riggisberg heat with oil or gas, almost all with oil. The Swiss average is 49.8%.
Replacing an oil heating system also removes the tank and frees up space in the basement.
25.6% of residential buildings in Riggisberg already heat with a heat pump, compared with a Swiss average of 26.2%.
61.2% of residential buildings were built before 1980. In older houses we check at the site visit whether the radiators are sufficient and which flow temperature is needed. Then we decide with you between an air-to-water and a ground-source heat pump.
