Subsidy for replacement of household and public space heating (boiler subsidy)
Dotace na výměnu vytápění domácnosti a veřejných prostor /Kotlíková dotace/
Background information
From September 2024, a prohibition on heating with old coal or wood boilers that do not reach at least the third emission class will apply. The Ministry of the Environment has been providing a subsidy for the replacement of these boilers since 2015. Property owners, including municipalities, foundations and other non-profit organizations, can use the subsidy for the replacement of unsuitable boilers from the New Green Savings program from 2021. A modified version of the subsidy is intended for households with lower incomes who own real estate.
The condition for being entitled to a preferential subsidy is that the applicant and all members of his household receive an old-age pension or a disability pension for third degree disability on the date of application, or the applicant received a housing allowance in the period between 1 January 2022 and the date of application.
Content of measure
The subsidy can be used to replace:
• solid fuel boilers not meeting the 3rd, 4th and 5th emission class;
• electric heating systems with a heat pump with a selective drive;
• gas boilers and heaters older than 20 years for a heat pump in houses that meet the requirements for the energy efficiency of a class A-D building.
It applies to the purchase and installation (including construction work, supplies and services directly related to it) of the following new heat source:
• biomass boilers;
• local sources of biomass;
• heat pumps;
• individually built biomass storage stoves;
• connection to the heat supply system;
• combined production of electricity and heat - only for apartment buildings.
Standard support within the program is provided in the form of a subsidy for installations carried out from 1 January 2021 in the amount of up to 50% of eligible expenses.
In the case of a preferential subsidy for households with lower incomes, support will be provided for installations carried out from 1 January 2021 in the amount of up to 95% of eligible expenses, but it is subject to stricter requirements in terms of environmental results.
Applications for the subsidy could be submitted from October 2021.
Use of measure
Subsidies will continue to be provided under the 'New green energy savings program'. For more information, see CZ-2014-1/3326
