Heating grants and financial support

The layer cake of grants puts people off, and the money sits unclaimed because nobody files. That loss goes uncounted.

46 articles take the schemes apart: renovation grants and their income thresholds, agency funding, energy saving certificates, employer-backed loans, and the top-ups aimed at replacing an oil boiler. Regional money matters as much as national : the Hauts-de-France do not fund the way Brittany does, and Normandy has its own scale for getting off oil.

Two situations come up often enough to get their own pages. First the shared building, where collective heating is voted through at a general meeting before it is funded, and where the majority fails more often than the money does. Then refusal : a rejected file can be corrected, resubmitted, or moved to a different scheme.
