New boost to change oil-fired boilers, including condensing ones, News/Actu Quotidien

In its energy sobriety plan presented at the beginning of October, the government had promised a temporary reinforcement of aid to encourage households still heated with fuel oil to get out of this particularly polluting and expensive mode of operation. A decree published this Friday in the official journal confirms additional support of €1,000 for low-income households thanks to energy saving certificates (CEE).

Condensing oil boilers

This decree creates bonuses and minimum levels of specific and temporary financial incentives for the replacement of an oil-fired boiler by a heat pump, a combined solar system, a biomass boiler or a connection to a heating network supplied mainly by renewable or recovered energies. Oil-fired condensing boilers also become eligible for this boost.

Until June 30, 2023

These bonuses will apply from October 29, 2022 until June 30, 2023 for work completed no later than December 31, 2023. Currently, the CEEs already allow aid of €4,000 for low-income households when replaces an oil-fired boiler (except condensing models) with a heat pump (water/water, air/water or hybrid), a biomass boiler or a combined solar system. Other households exceeding the income ceilings of the category of low-income households benefit from a bonus of €2,500.

Accumulation with MaPrimeRénov’

These bonuses can of course be combined with MaPrimeRénov’, which also benefits from a temporary additional bonus of €1,000 until March 31, 2023. The government had given the most advantageous example of a household with very modest incomes who could benefit from global aid of up to €15,500 to acquire a high-performance biomass boiler.

The income ceilings delimiting the categories of households with “very modest” and “modest” resources are shown in the tables below.
