09/01/2025 Reading time : 1 min.

Conditions for the EPC Grant

To qualify, the works must be completed within five years of the application. After renovations, you’ll need to obtain a new EPC certificate proving that your property’s energy performance has met the required targets. The certificate must be recent, dated within the last 12 months.

Starting in 2025: Changes with "Mijn Verbouwlening"

From January 2025, the EPC Grant will be integrated into the "Mijn Verbouwlening" scheme, a loan dedicated to energy renovations. Applications will be made online via a one-stop portal. Grant amounts will be adjusted based on applicants’ income.

The EPC Certificate: A Must-Have

The EPC certificate provides a rating from A (best performance) to G. It is mandatory when selling or renting a property. This document gives a comprehensive overview of your property’s energy consumption, along with recommendations for improvement.

To obtain this certificate, a certified expert evaluates various building criteria, such as insulation, heating systems, and the use of renewable energy. Purpose: To determine the current energy performance and identify improvement opportunities.

Why Choose Energy Renovation?

Opting for energy renovation offers multiple benefits:

Reduced energy bills
Increased property value for future sale or rental
Financial support to lower renovation costs, such as the EPC Grant

Other Renovation Assistance

In addition to the EPC Grant, other aids are available to finance insulation, solar panel installation, or heating system upgrades. Local subsidies or low-interest loans can also complement your financing.

Stay Updated to Maximise Support

To fully benefit from these aids, it’s important to stay informed about legislative changes, especially the transition to "Mijn Verbouwlening" in 2025. Plan your works carefully to maximise available subsidies and achieve significant savings.

questions? FAQs

What are the main benefits of installing a heat pump and solar panels?

Installing a heat pump and solar panels provides a number of benefits.

- Lower energy bills: heat pumps capture energy from the air, water and ground to heat or cool your home thus requiring much less energy than traditional systems. When coupled with solar panels, which generate electricity from the sun, this can considerably reduce your energy bills.
- Eco-friendly: these systems use renewable energy and reduce CO2 emissions thus helping to combat climate change.
- Energy self-sufficiency: by generating your own electricity and using a heat pump, you are less dependent on energy suppliers and are not subject to price fluctuations.
- Increases the value of your property: homes equipped with eco-friendly heating and electricity-generation systems often have a higher value.

Can these systems work together to maximise energy efficiency?

Yes, heat pumps and solar panels work together very efficiently. Solar panels generate electricity that can be used to power the heat pump. This allows the generated energy to be utilised directly for heating, cooling, and domestic hot water, thereby maximising the energy efficiency of your system. Not only does this reduce costs, it also reduces your home's carbon footprint.

What are the initial costs of installing a heat pump and solar panels?

Initial costs vary depending on a number of factors, such as the size of your home, the type of heat pump you require, the number of solar panels needed, and the specific characteristics of your installation. On average:

- Heat pump: the cost of a heat pump is between €20,000 and €35,000 (including installation).

- Solar panels: the cost of a standard installation is between €10,000 and €35,000 for an output of 3 kW to 20 kW.

These costs can be reduced thanks to various financial aids, subsidies and tax incentives, depending on where you live.
