How the support landscape is organised

Public support for renovating and equipping homes in Luxembourg rests on several levels that add up without overlapping. At national level, the Klimabonus Wunnen, which replaced the former PRIMe House programme in 2022, covers a wide range of works related to energy performance and the technical equipment of a home. It is the reference scheme, and its official sheets set out in detail which measures are covered, the conditions to meet and the applicable caps.

Alongside this national scheme, many communes offer their own aid, which comes on top of rather than instead of it. Each commune sets its own conditions, caps and procedures independently: there is no single rule, and the technical department or communal secretariat is the right contact to find out what applies in your commune.

There is also an indirect mechanism, the housing VAT relief, a reduced rate applicable under conditions to certain works carried out in a home used as a main residence. It is not a subsidy paid out but a reduction of the invoiced amount, which must appear clearly on the company's quote and invoice.

Photovoltaic panels

Since 4 January 2026, the subsidy is calculated from the installed capacity using an official degressive formula. The €10,000 cap is reached from about 15 kWp. The installation must be run for self-consumption and the applicant waives payment for the electricity fed into the grid.

2 kWp (minimum)≈ €2,180
5 kWp≈ €4,950
10 kWp≈ €8,250
15 kWp and aboveup to €10,000

Official formula: PPV × (1,155 − 1,155/35 × PPV) €, capped at €10,000. Invoices issued between 4 January 2026 and 31 December 2029.

Pre-financing

With an installer listed in the Ministry of the Economy's register, the subsidy is deducted directly from the final invoice, without waiting for the State payment.

Available cumulative aid

Reduced 3% VAT

For works in a home built at least 10 years ago and used as the main residence. Tax benefit capped at €50,000 per home. Not automatic: the company applies it after prior approval from the administration, or you request a refund.

Klimaprêt

1.5% interest subsidy on a climate loan, taken into account up to €100,000. For an owner who has obtained the Klimabonus, home more than 10 years old, main residence for at least 2 years.

Municipal aid

Some municipalities offer additional bonuses (up to €1,000 or more depending on the municipality).

Social top-up

For households below certain income ceilings: 10% to 100% of the Klimabonus amount on top. Owner, main residence, application within 2 years of obtaining the Klimabonus.

HEMS €500

Aid for an energy management system connecting ≥ 2 devices (PV, battery, charger, heat pump…).

Pre-financing

The PV subsidy can be deducted directly from the installer's invoice, no upfront payment needed.

How to get your subsidies, in 5 steps

  1. 1

    Energy audit

    Have an audit carried out (free myenergy energy advice) to identify priority works.

  2. 2

    Agreement in principle before works

    For energy renovation, the agreement in principle is mandatory before works start; it is submitted by an energy adviser or an approved tradesperson. For photovoltaics and heat pumps, no prior application is needed: the order and invoice dates count.

  3. 3

    Carrying out the works

    Have the works carried out by a certified installer. Keep all invoices and certificates.

  4. 4

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to apply before the works?
For energy renovation, yes: an agreement in principle is mandatory before works start. For photovoltaics and heat pumps, no prior application is required, but the order and invoice dates determine the applicable amount.
What is the deadline for submitting the aid request?
4 years from 31 December of the invoice year for Klimabonus subsidies. For a charging station, the right expires one year after 31 December of the invoice year.
Are second homes eligible?
No. Only the main residence in Luxembourg is eligible for Klimabonus aid.
Is self-building eligible?
Generally no. Works must be carried out by an authorised professional. Exception: attic insulation in self-build may be eligible under certain conditions.
Until when is the Klimabonus programme valid?
The programme is confirmed at least until 2030. Amounts and conditions may be adjusted annually.
Can several subsidies be combined?
As a rule, yes: Klimabonus, 3% VAT, the Klimaprêt interest subsidy, the social top-up and municipal aid can be combined, each under its own conditions. Check the combination before signing a quote.
What is the main housing subsidy in Luxembourg?
The Klimabonus Wunnen, which replaced the former PRIMe House programme in 2022, is the national reference scheme for energy renovation and technical equipment in homes. Communal aid comes on top of it.
Can national and communal aid be combined?
Often yes, but each commune sets its own combination conditions. Check with your commune and review the official sheet for the national measure before signing a quote.
Are the amounts in this guide guaranteed?
No. They were checked on 27 September 2026 against the official sheets, but amounts and caps change with public decisions. Only the official sheet published on guichet.lu at the time of your application is authoritative.
Should insulation come before changing the heating system?
It is often technically sensible, since a heating system is sized according to the building's heat losses. A prior energy consultation helps define the most coherent order for your home.
How can I check whether a project is eligible before committing?
Check that the measure exists under the scheme in force, that the company is authorised for the trade, and that the order of steps follows the applicable rules. Klima-Agence offers free, independent advice on these points.
Is the reduced housing VAT a subsidy?
No, it is a reduced VAT rate applicable under conditions to certain works in a home used as a main residence. It reduces the invoiced amount but is not paid out as an aid.
The Luxembourg subsidy guide: understanding the landscape before you act

Which works are typically covered

National aid typically covers three families of works: the building envelope (insulating the roof, walls, floors, replacing windows), heating systems (in particular replacing a boiler with a heat pump or connecting to a district heating network), and certain technical installations such as solar panels, ventilation or charging point connections. Each measure has its own technical criteria, which determine eligibility independently of the price paid.

A single renovation project often combines several of these families: insulating before changing the heating system makes technical sense, since a heating system is sized differently depending on the building's heat losses. This is also why a prior energy consultation is useful before fixing the order of works.

Why the official sheet always prevails

The amounts, rates and caps of subsidies change with public decisions, and information copied onto a third-party site can quickly become inaccurate. The amounts in this guide were checked on 27 September 2026 against the official sheets, cited as sources; for any binding figure, guichet.lu remains the authoritative source at the time of your application.

This caution also protects your project: an amount quoted by a company or copied from an old article is never a commitment from the administration. Only the official sheet in force when the file is submitted determines what you are entitled to.

Combining measures without compromising eligibility

Combining several measures is generally possible, but requires respecting the order and conditions specific to each. Some national and communal aid can be combined, some cannot, and some national measures explicitly exclude combining with each other for the same item of works. Checking this before signing a quote avoids discovering afterwards that an expected aid does not apply.

Technical coherence matters as much as administrative coherence: a heat pump sized before roof insulation, or a solar installation fitted without considering a planned electric vehicle, can force the equipment to be revisited a few years later. A project thought through as a whole, even if carried out in several phases, limits this risk.

Checking eligibility before committing

Before signing a quote, it is worth checking three points: that the measure envisaged actually exists under the scheme in force, that the intended company holds the trade authorisation matching the works, and that the order of steps follows the applicable rules, in particular when prior approval is required before works start. Klima-Agence offers free, independent energy advice, useful for clarifying these three points before any financial commitment.

Our dedicated page on procedures and eligibility sets out how a file proceeds, the documents usually requested and the role of MyGuichet in submitting applications.

Finding an authorised company

Benefiting from most aid requires the works to be carried out by a company authorised for the trade concerned. Our directory lists companies by trade and area of activity in Luxembourg, with the public information available on their trade authorisation. Describe your project, compare the responses you receive, and always check that the quote matches the technical criteria of the measure you are targeting before signing.
