Understanding the support available
Government assistance : The French State offers a lot of financial aid to encourage energy innovation. Among the most popular devices, we found MaPrimeRenov’, a program accessible to all owners and co-owners, without income conditions. In 2021, this system will be expanded, allowing greater support for work.
Energy Saving Certificates (CEE) : Energy suppliers are required to promote energy efficiency to their customers by offering them bonuses for doing the work. This system makes it possible to reduce the cost of repairs.
Local help : Many local authorities also offer specific assistance for energy conversion. These grants vary from region to region and can cover a significant part of the costs incurred.
Interest free loan : The zero-interest loan (eco-PTZ) is another financial lever for owners who want to do energy renovation work. This loan allows you to finance up to 30,000 euros of work without paying interest.
Steps to access repair help
Initial assessment : Before starting, it is necessary to do an energy audit of your home. This diagnosis makes it possible to identify the necessary work and prioritize the most effective interventions.
Choice of work : Based on the results of the audit, define the work to be done. The most common include insulating the attic, replacing windows, and installing more efficient heating systems.
Find help : Identify the grants and subsidies for which you are eligible. The official website of the National Housing Agency (Anah) and FAIRE advisors can guide you through this process.
Create the file : Prepare your grant application file carefully. Make sure you provide all the necessary documents, such as work quotes and proof of income.
Declaration of deeds : Before starting the work, the specific assistance requires declaring the start of the work to the organization providing the subsidy.
Execution of works : Call qualified and certified RGE (Recognized Guarantor of the Environment) professionals to guarantee the quality of work and eligibility for assistance.
