Zürich Kreis 10
Heat pumps and air conditioning in Höngg and Wipkingen – Kreis 10
Höngg lies on the slope above the Limmat, Wipkingen is denser and more urban. What both have in common: many residential buildings where a heating replacement is due or individual rooms get too warm in summer.

Kreis 10: Höngg and Wipkingen
Kreis 10 comprises Höngg and Wipkingen. Höngg, with its vineyards, was incorporated in 1934 and is characterised by single-family and apartment buildings on slopes; Wipkingen has been part of the city since 1893 and is more densely built up.
On slopes, space for an outdoor unit is often limited, and sound propagates differently than on flat ground. We check alternative locations before proposing a unit.

Permits and noise protection in Kreis 10
For air/water heat pumps up to 2 m³, the notification procedure is usually sufficient in the Canton of Zurich – but the noise protection certificate must still be provided.
In the Canton of Zurich, many air/water heat pumps can be installed under the notification procedure (placed indoors or outdoors up to 2 m³); in core zones and in areas with townscape or monument protection, outdoor units still require a permit. A noise protection certificate is always required for air/water heat pumps (Canton of Zurich). The City of Zurich accepts projects subject to notification via eBaugesucheZH; we compile the documents for you.

FAQ
Questions from the region
Where do I place the outdoor unit on a slope?
That depends on the terrain, distances and neighbours’ windows. We compare options and document the chosen location in the noise protection certificate.
Do you handle the notification to the city?
Yes, we compile the documents and submit them on request.
