Struggling With Compliance, Complaints or Complexity?
If you are a manager of multi-unit properties, we understand you. The pressure is on: more tenant complaints, increasing fuel costs, upcoming phase-outs of fossil fuels, and a complex web of regulatory mandates. And with an ageing heating system, every winter becomes a new round of maintenance headaches, steeper bills and more inefficient furnace operation.
It’s no longer just about keeping tenants warm — it’s about compliance, sustainability, and long-term ROI.
And the price of doing nothing is increasing. Delays translate into mounting costs, unhappy tenants, and missed opportunities for subsidies.
Heat pumps provide a clean, compliant, and future-proof solution if done with the right partner.

Still Unsure? You’re Not Alone
Making a major change to an energy-efficient heating system for landlords is a significant decision. You will have questions, doubts, and concerns.
Here are some of the most frequently asked questions by our clients:
How do you manage tenant disruption?
We phase the install, are very transparent with tenants and work in a room-by-room manner. For most appointments, there is minimal disruption, and they are timed at your convenience.
Can I phase this over time?
Absolutely. With the flexibility of phased modernisation, you can spread out the project over time, receiving partial savings and incentives from the initial portion of the project.
Will this reduce my operating expenses?
Yes. Our commercial clients typically enjoy annual savings of 30-50% in heating costs alone, not to mention the thousands saved on maintenance.

The result: a compliant, modern building and a reassured property owner.

Frequently Asked Questions: Commercial Heat Pumps
Absolutely! Heat pumps are one of the smartest long-term investments for multi-unit residential buildings. They significantly reduce heating costs, require less maintenance, and comply with Swiss sustainability regulations. With available subsidies and phased installation options, many building owners in Suisse Romande recover their investment within 5–7 years while improving tenant satisfaction.
Heat pumps outperform gas boilers in efficiency, emissions, and long-term cost savings. While gas boilers rely on combustion and emit CO₂, heat pumps transfer ambient energy and can reduce energy consumption by up to 50%. They also qualify for Swiss government incentives, making them a cleaner, more economical, and regulation-ready solution for commercial properties.
