We replaced our old oil heating system with an air-to-water heat pump in 2019. We had decided on this type of heating to get away from oil. One part of the house is heated by radiator and the other part by floor heating. However, the difference between the two heat exchangers is noticeable. The floor heating is by far more effective. In the living room we also have a wood-burning stove that you can light in winter.

What is my heat source?
In our house we heat with a wood stove that is located in the kitchen.
That is our only heat source and we don't have anything else.
Our house is a very old one and that's the reason we don't heat with solar energy or electricity.

How much electricity does Switzerland distribute across Europe? What is the future of Switzerland if other countries make greater progress with renewable energy? What role do we play then?
This year and last there was too little electricity across Europe. Which was noticeable, among other things, in the reduction in network stability. A Europe-wide blackout was also speculated.
Switzerland is strong in the export and import of electricity. The European electricity grid is interrelated - which makes us all dependent on one another for electricity production. Furthermore, what impact could the complete phase-out of nuclear energy have on Europe?
