“I am changing the heating system and the water heater”
The “Change Heating System and Water Heater” subsidy program is aimed at households who wish to purchase and install a solar water heater or heat pump in their home.
Especially, with regard to the features of “Change Heating System and Water Heater”:
In addition to assisting households to install new solar water heaters and/or heat pump systems of modern technology, the possibility of replacing energy-consuming electric heaters of old technology is also provided. However, this provisionis not a prerequisite for interested parties to participate in the program. It is worth pointing out that out of its total budget of 223.2 million euros, 44.6 million euros are earmarked for energy-vulnerable households.
The main objectives set by the program include upgrading the energy efficiency of households and saving financial resources by reducing energy consumption. In addition, it will contribute to the reduction of the use of heating systems based on fossil fuels and biomass, which burden the atmosphere with suspended particles.
Through the “Change Heating System and Water Heater” grant:
- The purchase of a new solar water heater with modern technology, at a percentage of 50% or 60%, with the exact percentage being determined based on income criteria.
- The purchase of a new heat pump system, at a rate of 50%.
- The performance of necessary supplementary work for the installation of eligible equipment (eg transportation costs, installation costs, consumables and accessories, etc.), at a rate of 50% or 60% (depending on the income criteria).
The program is aimed at households that wish to install the above eligible equipment in their home (main or secondary residence, rented or leased).
Meanwhile, within the framework of the “Change Heating System and Water Heater”, emphasis is placed on the potential beneficiaries of another program, the “Recycle – Change Water Heater” with unredeemed vouchers. In particular, those interested who had not redeemed the vouchers are invited to apply again, using the same VAT number.
Funding applications are evaluated comparatively and take into account the presence or absence of disabled member(s) in the family, if the application concerns families with three or more dependent children, if the residence is in atmospherically burdened regions (only for the new heat pump system), in areas with a high number degree days.
Funding applications from interested parties will be submitted only online from 8.1.2025 to 31.3.2025 and mandatory through the official website of the program (https://allazothermansi-thermosifona.gov.gr). Those interested in more information can call the phone (operational from 8.1.2025): 2131513753 (weekdays, 9:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.).
