How ventilation (vmc) works proceed in Switzerland

The heating engineer begins with a full energy audit: surveying the existing installation, measuring the required output based on the heated surface area and building insulation, and analysing past energy consumption. The quote separates equipment supply, installation and commissioning. For a boiler replacement, the work typically takes 1 to 2 days. For a ground-source heat pump installation, allow 3 to 5 days. A commissioning test is carried out and annual servicing is scheduled. The tradesperson issues the compliance certificates required for notification to the cantonal energy authority.

Regulations and standards in Switzerland

The Cantonal Energy Model Regulations (MoPEC 2014/2023) set the minimum requirements for replacing heating systems. In most French-speaking cantons, the replacement of an oil boiler is conditional or prohibited from 2030. The federal and cantonal Buildings Programme provides subsidies for systems using renewable energy (heat pumps, solar thermal, wood pellets). All installations must be notified to the cantonal energy department. Mandatory annual servicing by a certified technician is required for gas and oil boilers under cantonal air protection guidelines.

Budget and tax deductions

Replacing a heating system with a renewable solution (heat pump, pellets, solar thermal) qualifies for Buildings Programme subsidies of up to CHF 10,000–25,000 depending on the canton and technology. Energy improvement works are tax-deductible under cantonal income tax: if the expenditure exceeds taxable income, the excess can be carried forward over the following two tax years. Some cantons (VD, GE, VS) offer additional incentives. Have your subsidy application prepared before work starts and consult a certified energy advisor (SFOE) or a fiduciary to maximise your deductions.

How much does ventilation (vmc) cost in French-speaking Switzerland?
Indicative prices range from 3000 to 8000 CHF/fixed price depending on the canton and complexity of the project. Geneva and Lausanne tend to be 10–18% above average due to higher living costs. Always request a written quote for your specific project.
How do I find a reliable ventilation (vmc) professional?
Look for tradespeople with a Swiss federal certificate of competency (CFC) or federal diploma, up-to-date professional liability insurance and verified client reviews. SOS-Travaux.ch pre-vets all partner tradespeople before listing them on the platform.
How long does ventilation (vmc) typically take?
Duration varies significantly depending on the scope of work. Minor repairs may take a few hours; a full renovation can span several weeks. The tradesperson will provide an estimated timeline in the written quote after assessing your specific project on site.
Are there Swiss government subsidies available?
Yes — the federal and cantonal Buildings Programme offers subsidies for energy efficiency improvements (insulation, heating system replacement with renewables, solar panels). Some cantons and municipalities offer additional incentives. Ask your tradesperson about eligibility before signing the quote.
What warranty applies to the work?
Swiss law (Code of Obligations art. 371) provides a 5-year warranty for construction defects and a 2-year warranty for apparent defects. Ensure this is explicitly mentioned in the contract or accepted quote. Manufacturer warranties on materials and equipment are additional to the legal warranty.
