Are you planning to make your home more energy efficient? You may be able to take advantage of the sustainability loan. This allows you to borrow money to invest in an energy-efficient home.
How you arrange it
You can apply for a loan when you have an offer for the energy-saving measures you want to take. You can apply via this application form. If your application is approved, you will receive an allocation letter. With this allocation letter, you will apply for your loan within 8 weeks via www.svn.nl.
What you need to know
The sustainability loan allows homeowners to invest in energy-saving measures. For example, facade, roof or floor insulation, or a solar water heater or heat pump. This way you use more sustainable energy sources, reduce your energy costs and increase living comfort. In addition, it reduces CO2 emissions in the municipality.
Water-side adjustment of the central heating system
Prerequisites:
Only owner-occupiers (including CoEs) and tenants can apply for loans.
Applying for a loan is possible from May 19, 2020 until the budget runs out. Applicants will be notified in time when the budget runs out.
The minimum amount you can borrow is € 2,500. The maximum amount is €10,000.
The term of the loan is 15 years. For amounts under €7,500, it is 10 years.
The loan is a construction deposit.
We want to avoid "stacking" loans. Therefore, the loan cannot be used together with the starter loan.
Early redemption can be done penalty-free from €250.
SVn (Stimuleringsfonds Volkshuisvesting Nederlandse gemeenten) sets the interest rate and further conditions. SVn tests the loans together with the municipality and takes care of the practical implementation for us.
Solar Panels
Solar Panels are not covered by the sustainability loan.
With a sustainability loan you can, under good conditions and low interest, borrow money to make your home more sustainable. You can borrow the money for energy-saving measures, such as: wall, roof and floor insulation or HR++ glass. But you can also borrow money for measures to sustainably generate energy or heat. Such as solar panels, solar collectors or a (hybrid) heat pump.
The sustainability loan can be obtained from the National Heat Fund, not with the municipality of Soest. The National Heat Fund is an initiative of the central government. The Heat Fund has existed since 2013 and is the financing instrument of energy transition in the Netherlands.

In addition, the quote or order confirmation must also be signed with a signature from the contractor and you as the applicant.

Private individuals can receive subsidies for making their own homes more sustainable. The Sustainable Energy Investment Subsidy (ISDE) is for insulation measures and sustainable heating.
Subsidy amounts for Heat Pumps and Solar Boilers
For the purchase of a (hybrid) heat pump or solar water heater, you can receive a subsidy of several thousand euros. The amount of the subsidy depends on the capacity and energy label of the device. Detailed amounts per device can be found in the report code lists on the website of the subsidy provider RVO:
For connection to a heat grid you can receive a grant of €3,325.
Subsidy Amounts for Insulation Measures.
For insulation measures, there is a fixed subsidy amount per square meter of insulation or glass. When performing 2 or more measures, this amount per square meter is doubled. Here are some examples of possible combinations:
Insulating the cavity wall in combination with installing HR++ glass.
Insulating the cavity wall in combination with a hybrid heat pump.
Insulating the roof along with connecting to a heat grid.
The exact amounts and minimum area requirements can be found on the website of the subsidy provider RVO.nl.
Grant Amount for an Electric Cooking Facility.
If your home is connected to a heat grid and the gas meter has been removed, you can receive a €400 subsidy for an appliance on which you can cook electrically, such as an induction cooktop. Note that this subsidy does not apply as a second measure to receive the higher subsidy on an insulation measure.
Important Eligibility Requirements:
You own the property and live there yourself (the property is not rented out).
The insulation measures meet the required insulation values and minimum square footage.
The application for subsidy must be submitted after the measures have been implemented.
The application must be submitted within 2 years (24 months) of the implementation of the first measure.
Only one application can be made for a specific insulation measure (e.g. cavity wall insulation, glass insulation, etc.).
Subsidy is granted only for measures carried out by a licensed construction company/installer.
When requesting, include the "report code" of the product or insulation material. Ask the installer for this code or refer to the quotation for details.
Several municipalities and provinces also offer subsidies for insulation measures. It is possible to apply for both an ISDE subsidy and a local subsidy for the same measures.
For all specific conditions and details, please refer to the grantor's website. Here you will also find a detailed roadmap for applying for the grant.
