Coup de pouce Chauffage

Owners and tenants can qualify at any income level. The home must be more than two years old; tenants need their landlord’s permission for the work.

• Heat pumps: the home must be a main residence. Water-to-water or brine-to-water models are for individual houses; air-to-water models also cover apartments. The pump must heat the home, not just hot water, and cannot be associated with another heating system. Its seasonal heating-efficiency figure on the product information must reach 126% under the low-temperature test or 111% under the medium/high-temperature test. These are equipment tests, not thermostat settings: for heating-only systems, underfloor, wall or ceiling heating and water fan coils use the 35°C low-temperature test. Radiators, including those sold as low-temperature, mixed systems and all systems also producing domestic hot water use the 55°C medium/high-temperature test. The installer must size the pump to the home’s heat losses.
• For heat-pump quotations accepted from 1 September 2026, the exact model must hold State approval on that date. Check it using ADEME’s model lookup before accepting the quotation; meeting the technical efficiency requirement alone is not enough.
• Combined solar heating and hot water: an individual house in metropolitan France, used as a main residence, with low-temperature central heating. At least 8 m² of collectors and more than 400 litres of solar hot-water storage are required. Collectors must meet the certification and performance rules, including output of at least 600 W/m²; panels producing both electricity and heat are excluded. Since 1 September 2026, the resulting heating and/or hot-water system must not include any installed or retained equipment capable of using fossil fuels.
• Biomass boilers and separate wood heaters: individual houses, including second homes. A biomass boiler must burn wood-based fuel and be no larger than 70 kW. Automatic boilers need a fuel silo of at least 225 litres; manually fed boilers need a buffer tank. Equipment must meet the applicable efficiency and emissions rules, not simply burn wood.
• Heat-network connection: an individual house used as a main residence. It must not have been connected to a heat network during the five years before commitment to the new connection, such as acceptance of its quotation. No earlier connection may have been the subject of a CEE application, even if that application did not result in support. The network must meet the programme’s legal standard for an efficient heat network under Energy Code article L.711-4.

The equipment must meet the relevant technical sheet linked from the ministry programme page. Use an RGE-qualified installer for heat pumps, biomass, wood and solar equipment: RGE is the contractor qualification required for these energy-renovation works. Network connections must be carried out by a professional.

• For heat pumps, biomass boilers and combined solar systems, accept the installation quotation or otherwise commit to the work by 31 December 2030, inclusive. This is not the work-completion deadline.[^c14][^c35]
• For an independent wood heater, accept the installation quotation or otherwise commit to the work before 1 October 2027, when its technical sheet is repealed. This is not the work-completion deadline.[^c14][^c36]

1. Use the ministry programme page’s list of charter signatories to compare the offers for your chosen work. Each company sets out its offer and claim procedure; provide your tax notice or other income evidence when requested.
2. Accept the bonus offer before signing the installation quotation. Obtain the written offer document. For a heat pump, first check the model’s State approval in ADEME’s lookup.
3. Sign the contractor’s quotation and have the work carried out. For equipment installations, the invoice must identify the removed equipment and its fuel, and document the required installed-equipment performance. For heat pumps, the approval number must appear on the invoice and the declaration signed by the professional and countersigned by you.
4. For a heat-network connection, provide the heat-supply contract signed with the network operator as completion evidence. The completion date is the contract’s effective date or the first heat-delivery date stated in it. The relevant contract extracts must identify the parties and signatures, the dates, the address and the number of homes served.
5. Send the applicable supporting documents, including invoices and signed declarations for equipment installations or the required contract extracts for a network connection, to the charter signatory or its partner within the deadlines in your offer.
