Background
Since the 1990s, a pile-up of standards has made air conditioning almost impossible in Swiss homes. According to specialists, Switzerland is warming twice as fast as the global average.
The key points
Only 5% of Swiss homes have air conditioning, against an average of 20% in Europe and 90% in the United States, according to Bilan. Summer comfort is becoming a selling point that pushes up prices.
With peaks of 33 degrees, September 2026 extended a record-breaking summer.
Key figures
- Swiss homes with air conditioning: 5%.
- European average: 20%.
- United States: 90%.
- Maximum temperature in September 2026: 33 degrees.
