Implementing controlled mechanical ventilation is an effective solution to improve indoor air quality in a home. This system renews the ambient air, limits the occurrence of humidity, and reduces condensation phenomena that can deteriorate your living space.
With a constant renewal of air, this system also helps to expel pollutants produced daily, such as those from cooking, showering, or breathing. It also contributes to better thermal management of the home.
In Switzerland, installing a ventilation system represents an investment to anticipate in your renovation project. In this work guide, Avenir Renovations Switzerland explains the average cost of a VMC installation based on the type of equipment chosen and the necessary work.
The price of the device (single-flow VMC, humidity-controlled, or double-flow) is added to the cost of installation by a professional. This cost heavily depends on the configuration of the home.
In Switzerland, the price of a single-flow VMC generally ranges between 370 CHF and 900 CHF, while a double-flow VMC varies between 2,450 CHF and 8,900 CHF, depending on the performance level and the complexity of the installation.
The overall budget mainly depends on several parameters:
Installing a single-flow VMC generally requires less intervention. In contrast, a double-flow VMC requires the installation of a more comprehensive duct network and more precise adjustments.
Some additional work may also affect the final price:
To ensure a reliable installation that complies with standards, it is advisable to involve a qualified specialist. Depending on the nature of the site, installation can be carried out by a heating engineer, electrician, plumber, or a general contractor like Avenir Renovations Switzerland.
At Avenir Renovations, your project is entrusted to qualified craftsmen specialized in modern ventilation solutions. Their expertise ensures a durable and efficient installation.
Installing a controlled mechanical ventilation system is essential to ensure effective air renewal in a home and maintain a healthy indoor environment.
This type of installation helps limit humidity, reduce the presence of indoor pollutants, and improve daily comfort, whether in a single-family home or an apartment.
In Switzerland, certain programs can support work aimed at improving the energy efficiency of buildings. These aids can help reduce the overall budget of a ventilation project, especially when it involves a dual-flow mechanical ventilation system.
In several Swiss cantons, financial aid may be granted for work improving the energy performance of a home.
These supports can cover various renovation aspects such as thermal insulation, heating, or ventilation when it is part of a comprehensive project.
The amount generally depends on:
To know precisely the available aids, it is recommended to seek assistance from a professional.
Some banking institutions offer loans for energy renovation work.
These financings allow spreading the expenses related to the work over several years, which can be interesting when multiple improvements are planned in the home.
Some municipalities in Switzerland also offer financial support to encourage energy renovations.
Depending on local policy, these aids can take various forms:
It is recommended to contact your municipality to learn about existing schemes.
In Switzerland, renovation work can benefit from tax advantages under certain conditions, notably in the form of deductions on the tax return.
These mechanisms can reduce the overall cost of your ventilation project.
In addition to the installation cost, regular maintenance must be planned to ensure the proper functioning of the system.
For a single-flow mechanical ventilation system, maintenance generally costs between 130 CHF and 190 CHF. This intervention includes:
For a dual-flow mechanical ventilation system, the maintenance cost generally ranges between 190 CHF and 370 CHF as the intervention also includes:

A controlled mechanical ventilation system allows for the expulsion of air laden with humidity and pollutants to introduce healthier air into your home.
In Switzerland, the implementation of such a system must be adapted to the surface area of the home, its layout, and the needs of the household.
The final price notably depends on the type of device chosen, the complexity of the site, and the necessary adaptations.
The replacement of a mechanical ventilation system depends on the chosen model, the complexity of the housing, and the labor costs.
In Switzerland, the overall budget for removing the old system and installing new equipment generally ranges between 520 CHF and 12,600 CHF.
For a single-flow mechanical ventilation system, the price typically varies between 520 CHF and 2,100 CHF.
For a double-flow mechanical ventilation system, the cost is usually between 5,000 CHF and 12,600 CHF.
If only the motor needs to be replaced, the cost is more moderate:
