Energy renovation is increasingly being encouraged by the public authorities and certain organisations working to combat fuel poverty. This is because the work involved can reduce the energy consumption of individual homes by more than 30%, helping us to make progress in our energy transition.

Energy renovation: what are we talking about?
Energy renovation is a set of works designed to improve a building's energy performance and reduce its energy consumption. The task covers several types of work:
- Insulation
- Ventilation
- Heating
What financial assistance is available?
If the scale of the renovation work to be carried out in your home is putting you off, you'll be pleased to know that you can carry out your renovation work at a lower cost. This is thanks to the support programmes that you can obtain from the local or national authorities and from certain organisations.
MaPrimeRénov'
It replaces the aid schemes offered by the Agence Nationale de l'Habitat (Anah) and the Crédit d'Impôt pour la Transition Économique (CITE). It has been stepped up since October 2020 and applies to all owners and co-owners of homes built at least 2 years ago.
The amount of the grant is a flat-rate amount based on household income and the nature of the work to be carried out. There may also be some bonuses, depending on the condition of the home before the work is carried out. However, the work must be carried out by RGE-certified companies.
The zero-rate eco-loan

To qualify for the grant, you will need to meet certain eligibility conditions and have an estimate drawn up by an RGE expert.
The repayment period is very broad, and can be up to 20 years under certain conditions. It is also possible to combine two eco-PTZs if you already have one in progress.
