🏠 Grants for a heat pump or insulation in Greece: where do I apply?

The short answer

Most countries support home renovation with grants, tax credits or cheap loans. The schemes change often, so always check the official portal before you order work.

📜 The rules in Greece

Grants for heat pumps and insulation

Home energy upgrades are subsidised through the Εξοικονομώ programmes of the Ministry of Environment and Energy (ΥΠΕΝ). The youth scheme 'Εξοικονομώ – Ανακαινίζω για νέους' (born 1984–2005) is in progress; for some enrolled beneficiaries the completion deadline is 30 November 2026.

  • Works must raise the home by at least three energy classes (over 30% primary energy saving) and can be combined with functional and aesthetic renovation. (exoikonomoneon.gov.gr)
  • Income limits for the youth scheme: energy branch up to €30,000 individual or €50,000 family income; renovation branch up to €20,000. (stegasi.gov.gr)
