The new “heating impulse” aimed at helping homes replacing their fuel or gas boiler with an electric heat pump enters into force as of Wednesday, with a reinforced formula backed by 100% private funds.
An emergency decree on September 6, just before the resignation of the Bayroun government, introduced a reinforcement of the help of equipment for the operations initiated since October 1, 2025 and until December 31, 2030. Excludes secondary residences.
The measurement must promote the decarbonation of the building, reducing the emissions linked to the combustion of fossil fuels in the boilers, while the heat pump market, weakened for two years of regulatory blur with respect to the aid for energy renewal.
The amount varies according to household income
Specifically, the strengthening of these AIDS is based on energy savings certificates (CEE), a private financing system, based on the principle of polluting payments, which forces energy suppliers to finance actions to reduce energy consumption and improve energy efficiency.
The cost of these CEES is partly fainted in consumer energy invoices and in their fuel purchases.
The new system “allows a better financing of more efficient equipment, even if the home has an average or comfortable income. The impact is, therefore, a revaluation of the bonuses for heat pumps, making more economically attractive projects,” he explains to the AFP Bakoglu, deputy general delegate of the Federation of Electrical, Electronic and Communication Industries (FIEEC).
“By making it possible to finance up to 100% of the replacement of its fossil heating system with heat pumps, the State specifically attacks the CO2 emissions of the construction sector, lightens the energy invoices of millions of homes of households while supporting thousands of artisans and qualified jobs,” said Edouard Barthès, president of the Symbiote union offered Energy renewal.
The amount of the new “impulse” varies according to the income and criteria of the home, such as the performance of the heat pump, its use (heating and/or hot water), the typology (house/apartment) and the size of the accommodation or the climatic zone of the Béne focal region, said the Laplagne de Valérie of AFP, the head of the renewable heat equipment in the climate engineering union.
