What Does an Energy

Rating (A–G) Mean for a

Homebuyer in

Switzerland?

When you’re looking at a new home, the energy rating gives you a quick idea of how efficient the property is. The scale runs from A (very efficient and low running costs) to G (less efficient and higher running costs). An energy rating will show you: How energy efficient the home is compared to others. How much energy it’s likely to use, and what that means for your bills. Tips on how to make the home more efficient, so it’s cheaper and more comfortable to live in. Ways to improve the rating and get access to local subsidies from your Canton. This makes it easier to see not just what the home costs to buy, but also what it will cost to run in the future.
