Ecobonus — Italy's Energy Efficiency Tax Credit

The Ecobonus provides 50-65% tax credits for specific energy efficiency improvements, without requiring the 2-class jump needed for Superbonus. At 65%, it covers heat pump installations, thermal insulation of opaque surfaces, and solar thermal collectors. At 50%, it covers window replacements, condensing boilers, and biomass heating. The credit is deducted from income tax over 10 years. It's simpler than Superbonus and works well for targeted improvements.

Grant Amounts

50-65% of eligible costs depending on work type. Annual spending caps: 100,000 EUR for comprehensive energy improvement, 60,000 EUR for thermal insulation, 30,000 EUR for heating system replacement.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Ecobonus and Superbonus?

Ecobonus is simpler: 50-65% credit for individual measures, no minimum class improvement required, 10-year deduction. Superbonus offers 65% but requires a 2-class jump, asseveration, and 4-year deduction. Choose Ecobonus for smaller, targeted improvements.

Does Ecobonus apply to window replacement?

Yes, at the 50% rate. Replacing old single-pane windows with double or triple glazing qualifies, with a spending cap of 60,000 EUR per unit. The windows must meet specific thermal transmittance (U-value) requirements for your climate zone.
