Why renovate your home ?
An upcoming renovation can have several reasons and benefits, both if you’re living in a house or flat. When looking at it from a sustainability point of view, home improvement can reduce noise, save you money on heating costs and protect from rodents or insects, making for an overall improvement of living conditions. If you’re unsure about which aids you can access, or where to start with your renovations, the following points are going to answer your most pressing questions.
1. Klimabonus - renovating subsidies with Klima-Agence
The Klimabonus subsidy for renovation is available for residential buildings older than 10 years. With recent changes, applying for the super-reduced VAT rate of 3% has become accessible for sustainable energy renovation measures for buildings of a minimum age of 10 years, a 10-year reduction to former requirements. If you’re unsure about which aids you can apply for, an energy advisor will assist you in the process.
Important: the application for financial aid must be submitted before the work is carried out. The payout, however, can only be requested once the work has been completed.
Available subsidies:
1/ Insulation : renewing your external wall insulation or roof insulation reduces your heating costs, noise from outside or neighbours and keeps unwelcome guest from taking up residence.
2/ Window replacement : replacing old windows offers similar advantages to renewing your insulation: it enhances the security of your real estate, reduces noise, and improves energy efficiency, while increasing its value.
2. Heating & electricity production with renewable energies
Klima-Agence isn’t just renovation subsidies. Throw out the old oil tank! With eleven different heating Klimabonuses, you can choose between various sustainable alternatives to heating, such as geothermal heat pumps or photovoltaic systems.

3. Municipal grants
Some municipalities may offer additional grants for your home renovation project. These grants are also listed on the Klimabonus subsidy simulator, however the easiest and fastest way to find out which municipal grants you can make use of is to call your municipality. As with other grants, you should consider this before starting your project.
Since most constructions, transformations and other modifications are subject to a building permit or declaration of work, getting in touch with your municipality is the way to go.
