Your project in the canton of Glarus

The canton of Glarus occupies a narrow alpine valley framed by peaks, where the Linth flows down towards Lake Walen. The main town, Glarus, was largely rebuilt in the nineteenth century and has a regular street plan with stone buildings. Näfels and Mollis, to the north, feature mansions and residential districts, while Schwanden and Linthal, further up, retain former textile workers' housing. The mountain climate, with snow and the föhn wind, influences the choice of materials and the timing of outdoor work. The canton is German-speaking, but a request in English is entirely possible. For an old building or a change visible from the street, contact your municipality. Add the village or town and postcode, distinguishing the valley road from narrower routes to your building.

  • In the upper valley, say whether the access road is affected by snow or closures.
  • For a former worker's house, describe the condition of the roof and exterior walls.
  • If your house is exposed to the föhn, mention it for any work on the roof or shutters.

Heating work in the canton of Glarus

The Glarus region forms a deep valley between high peaks, where winter sunshine remains limited in some villages. The old houses of Glarus, rebuilt after the great fire, and the industrial buildings of Schwanden or Linthal bear witness to the region's textile past and now house homes that need efficient heating. Owners readily replace oil with pellets or a heat pump, and some villages have a heating network fuelled by local wood. In Näfels and Mollis, on the more open valley floor, newer villas often adopt underfloor heating. In these valleys, check first with the municipality before drilling.

  • In a village with little winter sunshine, have the heat pump sized for the coldest days rather than for the average.
  • If a wood-fired heating network runs along your street, ask about the connection conditions before replacing your boiler.

Frequently asked questions

How is a heat pump installation organised in Glarus?

The heating engineer first visits to assess your home, your current system and suitable equipment locations for the selected heat-pump type. They then size the heat pump, handle any necessary formalities with you and plan the removal of the old system. The work ends with commissioning and an explanation of how to use the controls.

What affects the choice of a replacement heating system?

Building insulation, hot-water needs and the existing heat emitters affect system sizing and operation. Available indoor and outdoor space also matters. Ask for an assessment of these points and of the procedures applicable to the chosen system before selecting equipment.

What should I compare in heating engineer quotes?

Compare the proposed system, controls, hot-water provision and work on existing pipework. Clarify removal of old equipment, electrical connections and commissioning. Ask which performance assumptions were used and whether documentation and an explanation of the controls are included.

How should I prepare for the heating engineer visit or work?

Gather service records, available energy-use information and building plans. Tell the engineer about occupied rooms and restrictions on plant-room access. Agree how heating and hot water will be managed during the changeover, based on the actual installation plan.
