Frequently Asked Questions

What is the iSFP bonus?

An iSFP (individueller Sanierungsfahrplan) is a personalized renovation roadmap created by an energy consultant. Having one doubles your maximum eligible costs from 30,000 to 60,000 EUR per residential unit, significantly increasing the potential grant.

Can I get a BEG EM grant for a heat pump?

Yes. Heat pumps receive the 15% base grant, plus a 5% bonus for natural refrigerants, plus a 10% bonus if you're replacing an oil or gas heating system. That's up to 30% — or 9,000 EUR on a 30,000 EUR heat pump.
