Heat Pumps and Pellet Heating

myclimate supports you with subsidies

Funding for Heat Pumps and Pellet Heating in Switzerland

In addition to buildings programme funded by the government and cantons, myclimate also offers various funding programmes to facilitate the replacement of fossil heating in Switzerland. In some cases, the subsidies from myclimate are higher and in some cases, heating systems can be subsidized that are otherwise not covered by the canton. Use our interactive funding calculator now!

This funding program will be discontinued. Applications are still possible until 30.06.2025. The heating system must be commissioned by 31.12.2025.

  • Replacement of existing oil or gas heating system (new buildings not eligible).
  • No double funding: no additional private financial assistance, or funding from the federal, cantonal or municipal government may be applied for.
  • The contract must not already have been awarded to an installation or planning company.
  • At the property location, there are no regulations at federal, cantonal or communal level that exclude replacement with a fossil heating system or require a renewable heating system. Accordingly, properties in the following cantons are excluded from funding: BS, GE, GL, NE, ZH
  • The support program for heat pumps in residential rental buildings and the support program for automated pellet heating systems will be discontinued. Applications are still possible until 06/30/2025. The heating system must be put into operation before 12/31/2025.
