To facilitate the energy transition, a connected thermostat subsidy is available for landlords and tenants, regardless of their income level. But time is of the essence, as this subsidy for landlords will expire on December 31, 2024.
Investing in a heating thermostat not only improves domestic comfort, but also reduces energy consumption. The French Environment and Energy Management Agency (ADEME) suggests that this scheme can save up to 15% on bills. Despite the initial investment, often perceived as costly, the gains are significant in the long term.
The energy bonus for the heating thermostat is calculated on the basis of the total heated surface area of the home. Depending on size, you can receive between €260 and €624 in financial assistance. To qualify, your home must have been built more than two years ago, and the work involved in installing a heating thermostat must be carried out by a recognized professional. Don't delay in contacting approved professionals to secure your bonus and ensure compliance with future standards.
For those considering more innovative heating systems, installing a connected thermostat gives you the ability to control the temperature of every room, even from a distance. This is an opportunity not only to increase the energy efficiency of your home, but also to get a head start on impending regulatory requirements.
There is one drawback, however: installing a connected thermostat is expensive. You'll need to be prepared to pay between €100 and €400, with some estimates rising to over €1,000, according to the Hello Watt comparator.
Nonetheless, public assistance has been set up to help all French people to get equipped. Whether you're a homeowner or a tenant, you can take advantage of this financial boost when you install a connected thermostat in your home.
This public assistance is a godsend for any investment in a heating thermostat. Make sure you take advantage of it before it expires at the end of 2024, and take a step towards more economical, environmentally-friendly housing.
