Your project in the canton of St. Gallen
The canton of St. Gallen almost entirely surrounds the two Appenzells and stretches from Lake Constance to Lake Zurich. The city of St. Gallen is known for its old town with oriel-windowed houses and for many buildings from its textile era. Rapperswil and Jona, on the shore of Lake Zurich, combine a historic centre with newer residential districts. Wil and Gossau are busy regional centres, while in the Rhine Valley, Altstätten and Buchs lie close to the Austrian border. The Toggenburg, around Wattwil, is a hilly landscape of farms and timber chalets. The canton is German-speaking, but your request can be written in English. For an old house in a town centre, ask your municipality whether the planned work requires approval. Give the municipality and postcode and describe building access, whether the project is in town, by the lake or in the Toggenburg.
- For an oriel-windowed house in St. Gallen's old town, attach photos of the façade and windows.
- In the Toggenburg, say whether the house is isolated and how it can be reached in winter.
- On the shores of Lake Zurich or Lake Constance, describe access to the plot and the space available for materials.
Heating work in the canton of St. Gallen
The canton of St. Gallen stretches from Lake Constance to the valleys of the Toggenburg and the Rhine. In the city of St. Gallen, buildings with oriel windows in the old town and large apartment blocks run by a property management company are modernising their boiler rooms or connecting to the heating network. In Wil and Gossau, residential areas are replacing oil boilers with heat pumps. In the Toggenburg, around Wattwil, scattered farms remain attached to wood. In Rapperswil-Jona, on Lake Zurich, condominium flats require coordination between co-owners. In the Rhine valley, the foehn influences heating needs. For a geothermal probe, check with your municipality in St. Gallen from the preliminary design stage.
- In a building in St. Gallen's old town, plan the routing of new pipes without touching the oriels and woodwork.
- For a farm in the Toggenburg, have the chimney checked before connecting a modern wood boiler to it.

Frequently asked questions
How is a heat pump installation organised in St. Gallen?
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.
