If you rely on a wood-burning stove, insert, or pellet boiler for heating, get ready for significant changes coming in 2025. While wood heating has long been valued for its affordability and sustainability, new regulations are being introduced to minimize its environmental impact.
These updates include cuts to financial aid, stricter energy efficiency standards, and the gradual phase-out of open fireplaces. Many homeowners will need to upgrade or modify their heating systems to stay compliant.
Here’s what you need to know to stay ahead of the changes and avoid unexpected complications.
Reduced aid for the installation of wood heating
One of the first major changes involves a cut in subsidies for purchasing wood-burning stoves and boilers.
Starting in 2025:
For middle-income households, the grant for a pellet stove will drop from €1,000 to €750.
For low-income households, the aid will decrease from €1,800 to €1,250.
Why the reduction? The government aims to steer households toward cleaner and more efficient heating alternatives.
What should you do? If you’re considering installing a new system, it’s best to act quickly to benefit from the current subsidies before they expire.
