So, you’re all clued up on what MaPrimeRénov is (No? Go and read our previous blog, pronto!), and it sounds like you stand to gain a significant amount of financial…
MaPrimeRenov is a grant made up of several parts - some funded by the government and managed by the organisation L’Anah, and some funded by fuel suppliers such as EDF - and it now replaces the Credit d’Impôts system for eco renovation reimbursement, which ended on 31 December 2020. It’s not actually a new thing; the government has simply opened the grant system (previously reserved for those with a very modest income) to everyone. They say it’s to boost the economy, improve the housing stock’s energy rating, and encourage the population to make changes to improve their energy consumption.
RT2020 is the latest update to a set of building regulations laid out by the French government to reduce carbon emissions. It builds on the concept of reducing energy waste, by incorporating new obligations to increase renewable energy production, too.
At Artisan Central, we’re all about prevention – getting on top of things now, so you can cosy up ‘chez vous’ throughout the Winter, knowing you've done everything you can to keep your home warm and safe.
