Financial support for heat pumps
Warmtepompen steun
Background information
The various regional authorities provide forms of support for those investing in an existing house, flat, apartment building or non-residential building (e.g. a commercial or office building). In Flanders, financial support is possible for a wide range of measures, including heat pumps (all types). Whereby the Flemish government wants to focus on more sustainable ways of heating and facilitate the changeover of heating to more sustainable alternatives.
Content of measure
Support to encourage heat pumps is organised through VerbouwPremie. This is a subsidy from the Flemish government for carrying out renovation works and energy-saving investments, among other things.
Support is available for any type of heat pump with a total invoice amount of at least € 1,000. For heat pumps in non-residential buildings, the premium is calculated according to the capacity of the heat pump:
The basic premium for a geothermal heat pump is €4,000 - €57,000.
The basic premium for an air-water heat pump is €3,000 - €47,000 (for final invoices from 2022 and applied for no later than 31 December 2025) and up to €32,250 for applications from 1 January 2026.
The basic premium for an air-to-air heat pump is €300 - €4,800.
The basic premium for a hybrid heat pump is €2,000 - €31,250 (for final invoices from 2022 and applied for no later than 31 December 2025) and max. €23,500 for applications from 1 January 2026.
This premium only applies to investments in buildings that meet a number of conditions:
The building must have been connected to the electricity distribution network before 2014
Or buildings connected to the electricity distribution network from 2014 and for which the planning permission was granted more than 5 years before the date of the final invoice.
