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.
Ventilation and air conditioning in the canton of Glarus
The canton of Glarus is formed by a narrow valley where the mountains limit sunshine in winter, which encourages condensation in homes. In Glarus, the buildings reconstructed after the great fire of the nineteenth century have regular volumes that are easy to equip with floor-by-floor ventilation. Around Näfels and Mollis, renovated family homes are increasingly fitted with heat recovery ventilators, which are effective against mould. Former textile industry sites, converted into lofts or workshops, call for bespoke solutions for large spaces. Air conditioning remains uncommon, but it interests offices exposed to the sun. Any visible change to a façade should be clarified beforehand with the municipality.
- In a loft in a former factory, ask for an airflow study suited to large volumes.
- If your home receives little sun in winter, favour continuous ventilation over occasionally opening the windows.

Frequently asked questions
How should I choose an air conditioning system in Glarus?
Consider the number of rooms to cool, their exposure to sun and the space available for the outdoor unit. Split systems, multi-split systems and reversible heat pumps suit different needs. Ask the installer about noise levels and maintenance.
How do ventilation and cooling requirements differ?
Ventilation addresses air exchange, while cooling manages room temperature; a project may need one or both. Describe occupancy, moisture concerns and heat exposure. Ask the installer to assess air distribution, noise, controls and the space required before recommending a system.
What should I compare in ventilation and air conditioning quotes?
Compare equipment, distribution routes, controls and installation alongside any drainage or electrical work. Ask who checks applicable procedures and permissions for the chosen location. Clarify commissioning, maintenance access and user instructions so proposals cover a functioning system rather than equipment supply alone.
How should I prepare for the ventilation and air conditioning visit or work?
Collect room plans and existing system information, and note access to ceilings, balconies or roofs. Describe spaces that must remain in use. Agree locations and cable or duct routes before installation, with relevant owner or property permissions checked for the project.
