Why some cantons show no amount

  1. 1

    Basel-City · heat pump

    In Basel-City, the rate depends on whether the building is inside or outside the district heating perimeter.

  2. 2

    Jura · heat pump

    The Jura removed support for heat pumps up to 70 kW from its 2026 programme (decision of 10 September 2026).

  3. 3

    Obwalden · heat pump

    Obwalden only supports heat pumps that use a geothermal probe or groundwater.

  4. 4

    Schaffhausen · heat pump

    Schaffhausen pays CHF 3'000, but only if the house has a photovoltaic system of at least 30 W per m² of energy reference area.

  5. 5

    Thurgau · heat pump

    Thurgau has stopped supporting air/water heat pumps up to 70 kW; ground/water heat pumps are still supported.

  6. 6

    Bern · insulation

    Bern does not support insulation alone: the renovation must gain at least two classes of the cantonal energy certificate (from CHF 70 per m² of energy reference area for a house).

  7. 7

    Grisons · insulation

    The Grisons pay according to the insulated element (CHF 90 per m² against the outside, CHF 30 against an unheated room).

  8. 8

    Jura · insulation · Waiting list

    The Jura has used up its 2026 budget: since 10 September 2026, new insulation applications go on a waiting list, with no guarantee of payment.

  9. 9

    Appenzell Inner-Rhodes, Appenzell Outer-Rhodes, Grisons, Jura, Neuchâtel, Obwalden · advisory report

    These cantons do not subsidise this report; they only require it once support reaches CHF 10'000.

  10. 10

    Basel-Country · advisory report

    Basel-Country pays half the cost of the report, with no published cap: the amount depends on the quote.

  11. 11

    Solothurn · advisory report

    Solothurn pays half the cost of the report, up to CHF 1'100 for a detached house.

  12. 12

    St. Gallen · advisory report

    St. Gallen does not pay for this report, but for its building modernisation concept: CHF 4'500 for a house, at most the actual cost.

  13. 13

    Uri · advisory report

    Uri does not pay for this report, but for building envelope renovation advice by a certified expert: a flat CHF 700.

  14. 14

    Valais · advisory report

    No cantonal amount for this report in the Valais sources read on 9 November 2026; to be confirmed with the cantonal energy office.

Before you rely on the amounts

  • These are the amounts of the official rate sheets applied to the case described. The canton decides on each application.
  • In most cantons, the application must be filed before work starts.
  • A cap can reduce support: share of costs, annual budget used up.
  • Municipal grants and tax deductions are not included.

Frequently asked questions

Which canton gives the most for an air/water heat pump in 2026?

For a 200 m² house heated with oil: Valais, with CHF 9'000. The lowest amount: Appenzell Inner-Rhodes, with CHF 2'200.

Can these grants be added together?

Not always: each canton sets its own rules on combining grants, and some exclude each other. That is why the comparison shows each type of work separately, never a total.

Are these amounts guaranteed?

No. The canton decides on each application, and a cap or a used-up budget can reduce support. The comparison shows what the official rate sheet provides for the case described.

How do I find the amount for my building?

Each canton has a free calculator that applies its rate sheet to your area, output and works. In the ranking, the canton’s name leads there.

And for your building?

Enter your address: Parcellis finds your canton and applies its rate sheet to your works. Free.

Method: each amount comes from the canton’s official rate sheet, checked on the date shown, and goes through the same engine as the calculator on the canton pages and Parcellis reports. No amount in the ranking is entered by hand. Where a canton caps the output counted at 50 W per m² of energy reference area, the cap is applied; here it changes nothing, since 10 kW for 200 m² is exactly 50 W/m².
