Your project in the canton of Valais
Valais follows the Rhône valley from Brig to Lake Geneva, with side valleys climbing up to mountain resorts. The canton is bilingual: French-speaking Lower Valais, around Sion, Martigny and Monthey, and German-speaking Upper Valais, with Brig and Visp. On the hillsides, vineyards surround villages of stone houses and old wooden granaries. Crans-Montana and Zermatt are home to chalets, holiday flats and hotels; in Zermatt, where cars are not allowed, transporting materials requires special arrangements. At altitude, snow and sunshine influence building techniques and the working season. Wherever you live in Valais, you can write your request in English. For a chalet, a traditional mazot or an alteration in an old town, check with your municipality whether approval is needed. Give the municipality and postcode and, in a resort or at altitude, access periods and transport arrangements to the building.
- For a chalet in a resort, note the altitude, the state of the road in winter and your availability for the work.
- In Upper Valais, say whether you are happy to communicate in German.
- For a village house among the vineyards, describe access via the lanes and the space for unloading materials.
Heating work in the canton of Valais
In Valais, the contrast between the Rhône plain and the high-altitude resorts shapes every heating project. In Sion, Martigny and Monthey, apartment blocks and villas are gradually moving from oil to heat pumps, in a dry and sunny climate. In Crans-Montana and Zermatt, seasonal homes must be kept above freezing during absences, and remote control has become almost indispensable. In Upper Valais, around Brig and Visp, old larch and stone houses are readily heated with wood. Mountain roads complicate winter deliveries. In Valais, check with the municipality of Sion, Visp or Monthey as soon as you start thinking about the project.
- For a chalet in Zermatt, plan the work for the off-season, when transporting materials is easier to organise.
- In a larch house, check that the wood boiler respects the safety distances from timber walls.

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