Support for Renovating Homes and Heating Systems in Germany

This video is from the OK+ channel, runs about 6 minutes and was published in 2023.

Please note: this video was recorded in 2023, and German support programmes change their conditions, rates and ceilings from year to year. Take the general idea and the way of thinking from it; do not take a figure. The bodies to ask about the present position are KfW and BAFA, together with a certified energy adviser (Energieberater) — some programmes require one from the outset.

What this video shows

  • The idea behind state support for renovating homes and modernising heating
  • Who may apply: owner, tenant, owners' association
  • The difference between a grant and a subsidised loan
  • The order of the steps: apply first and build afterwards, not the other way round
  • The commonest mistake: starting the work before approval is granted
