On the menu today: the electric radiator bonus! A topic that fascinates me as much as the energy optimization of a Lyon house in the middle of winter. I will explain how to benefit from this aid to heat your home more efficiently and economically. Buckle up, we are off on a journey to the heart of energy efficiency!
Understanding the “Coup de pouce chauffage” scheme for electric radiators
The “Coup de pouce chauffage” scheme is a real godsend for those who wish to say goodbye to their old energy-guzzling radiators. This bonus, available through the Energy Savings Certificates (CEE), aims to encourage the replacement of obsolete electric radiators with more efficient models. The goal? Reduce energy consumption by 50% by 2050. A significant challenge, but not insurmountable with the right solutions!
Here are the essential criteria to benefit from this bonus:
- The new radiators must be labeled NF Performance 3 stars or have equivalent performances
- They must be equipped with advanced features: precise regulation, window opening and absence detection, overconsumption indication
- The installation must be carried out by a professional (no need for RGE qualification)
- The scheme applies only to existing residential buildings
I can’t help but think of those old radiators I’ve seen in some houses, true energy sinks! With these new technologies, it’s like going from a 2CV to a Tesla in terms of energy efficiency. Jokes aside, these criteria ensure that you are investing in really efficient equipment.
Amounts and beneficiaries of the electric radiator “Coup de pouce” bonus
Now let’s talk about the money, because that’s what interests everyone, right? The “Coup de pouce” bonus for electric radiators varies according to your income:
- €100 per radiator for low-income households
- €50 per radiator for other households
These amounts may seem modest, but believe me, when you multiply by the number of radiators in a house, it can quickly become interesting! I have seen clients save several hundred euros on their renovation projects thanks to this bonus.
It is interesting to note that the “Coup de pouce” bonus for electric radiators was removed from MaPrimeRénov’ at the end of 2021. On the other hand, don’t lose hope! It remains available through the Energy Savings Certificates (CEE). It’s like closing a door but leaving a window open… a well-insulated window, of course!
For very low-income households, the ANAH (National Housing Agency) offers additional aid called “Habiter sain”. This aid can cover up to 50% of the work with a cap of €10,000. However, be careful, the eligibility conditions are numerous and restrictive.
| Household type | Bonus per radiator | Possible additional aid |
|---|---|---|
| Modest | €100 | “Habiter sain” aid from ANAH (under conditions) |
| Other | €50 | – |
Steps to obtain your electric radiator “Coup de pouce” bonus
Now that you know how much you can save, let’s see how to get your hands on this bonus. The process is simple, but you must follow it to the letter. Here are the key steps:
- Make your bonus request before signing the work estimate. This is vital! Do not sign anything before making this request, or you risk missing out on the aid.
- Choose an energy supplier that is a signatory to the “Coup de pouce chauffage” charter. These companies are authorized to pay the bonus.
- Have the work carried out by a professional. There’s no need for them to be RGE (Recognized Environmental Guarantee), but make sure they are well-acquainted with the required technical criteria.
- After the work, provide all necessary documents to receive your bonus.
The bonus can take various forms: deduction from the invoice, bank transfer, check, or gift vouchers. Personally, I prefer the bank transfer; it’s simpler to track. But regardless of the form, what matters is that you benefit from it!
Don’t forget that the radiators you replace must have electromechanical regulation and air outlet or have specific markings. It’s a bit technical, I know, but it’s important to be eligible. If you have any doubts, don’t hesitate to ask a professional to check.
As a renewable energy expert, I can only encourage you to take the plunge. Not only will you save on your electricity bill, but you will also contribute to the fight against energy poverty. That’s what I call a win-win situation!
