Heating
Heating replaced by a tailored heat pump
Younergy designs your heat pump as a core part of your energy system, not as an isolated appliance.
Why upgrade your heating
What a heat pump changes in practice.
The same logic applies to every project: use energy readily available around you, rather than fuel you have to buy.
Lower your heating costs
A heat pump captures heat from the air or ground and can deliver several kilowatt-hours of heat for every kilowatt-hour of electricity consumed.
Replace fossil fuels
A heat pump allows you to replace oil or gas heating with a sustainable solution that produces no local emissions.
Make the most of your solar power
Coupled with a photovoltaic installation, the heat pump can directly use electricity generated on site.
Enjoy greater everyday comfort
A properly sized system maintains a consistent temperature and can also provide domestic hot water.
How does it work?
Heat is captured, then transferred into your home.

Technologies
Two ways to harness the same energy.
The principle remains identical. What changes is where the heat is sourced, and therefore the installation requirements.
Heat pump
Air-to-water
Draws energy from outdoor air. Requiring no drilling, it is often the simplest solution to integrate when upgrading a heating system.
How does it work?
The heat pump extracts heat energy present in the outdoor air and converts it into warmth to supply your heating and, depending on the system, your domestic hot water.
Key considerations
The location of the outdoor unit must be planned according to building layout, clearances, sound levels, and connection to the existing heating system.
Which homes is it suitable for?
It suits many detached homes, whether newly built or undergoing renovation, provided thermal requirements and heat emitters are compatible.
Heat pump
Ground-to-water (geothermal)
Draws heat naturally present in the ground. A stable energy source that requires geothermal borehole drilling.
How does it work?
A ground probe recovers geothermal heat. The heat pump then uses it to heat the water circulating throughout the building.
Key considerations
Feasibility depends on the plot, local geology, and drilling conditions. The installation must also comply with local permits and regulatory requirements.
Which homes is it suitable for?
An ideal solution when the land allows drilling and you are looking for an efficient, unobtrusive system engineered for long-term performance.
Home
Pairing a heat pump with existing radiators.
Whether your home runs on oil, gas, or older electric heaters, having radiators does not automatically rule out a heat pump.
Selected models remain compatible, depending on the heat distribution temperature required and the building’s characteristics. This is precisely what our assessment reviews before making any recommendation.

Let’s review your heating project.
Current system, heated surface area, existing heat emitters, potential solar setup: just a few details are enough to begin a productive conversation.
Our process
From initial building assessment to long-term care.
Younergy evaluates your current heating system, insulation levels, heating and hot water demand, radiators or underfloor heating, and available space to size the installation specifically for your property and lifestyle.
We determine the best solution for your building and size the installation to satisfy heating and hot water requirements without unnecessary oversizing.
Our teams oversee installation, connections, and commissioning to guarantee a seamless transition from your former heating setup.
Following commissioning, we remain available to monitor your system’s operation, handle maintenance, and step in whenever necessary.
Subsidies available depending on your canton.
Replacing your heating system can qualify for support from cantonal or municipal schemes, notably through the Buildings Programme. Eligibility criteria depend on the system replaced, the replacement unit installed, and, in some cases, compliance with the heat pump system module standard. Younergy checks the programmes applicable to your project and assists you with the procedures covered by our services.

FAQ
It absorbs heat from the air, or ground, raises its temperature using electricity, and then distributes it throughout your heating system.
That depends on insulation and existing heat emitters, such as radiators or underfloor heating. Younergy assesses your property’s actual heat demand before giving any recommendation.
Certain models can operate with existing radiators depending on the required flow temperature. Our study identifies what can be retained.
An air-to-water heat pump extracts heat from outside air without any drilling. A ground-to-water heat pump relies on a geothermal probe, providing a more consistent heat source but requiring drilling.
Depending on the chosen configuration, it can supply heating, domestic hot water, or both.
Yes. Part of your solar generation can power the heat pump. Depending on the setup, smart controls can prioritise solar hours to heat water and store it in a cylinder for later use.
