Grants for heat pumps and insulation

Flanders: Mijn VerbouwPremie is the Flemish government's grant for renovation and energy-saving work. Apply online via Mijn VerbouwLoket within 2 years of the last invoice. The scheme changed on 1 March 2026, mainly for owner-occupiers in the two highest income groups.

  • Wallonia: the temporary 'Primes Habitation' scheme (from 14 February 2025) accepted applications until 30 September 2026. Under transitional rules, some applications under older schemes remain possible until 30 September 2027. Ask the Guichets de l'Énergie or call 1718. (energie.wallonie.be)
  • Brussels: no new RENOLUTION grant applications are possible; the Brussels government has not yet decided on new renovation support. Homegrade gives free advice. (renolution.brussels)
