Support for energy renovation changes often, and every project is different. This page explains the mechanisms that exist; the exact amounts and your eligibility are confirmed with your quote, free of charge.
The support mechanisms
Reduced VAT on renovation
In Belgium, work carried out in a private home over ten years old is in principle eligible for a reduced VAT rate, subject to conditions (private use, invoicing by the contractor). This covers the roof, the heat pump and, depending on the rules in force, the solar installation.
We check your situation and apply the correct rate directly on the quote.
Regional renovation grants
The Walloon Region supports certain energy improvement works, in particular roof insulation and replacing the heating system with a heat pump. Access to these grants depends on conditions (income, age of the property, audit or application procedure).
Amounts and conditions to be confirmed at the date of your project: we go through them with you.
Solar: metering and export
In Wallonia, the electricity you do not consume is fed into the grid. The rules on metering and on payment for that export have changed in recent years (smart meter, prosumer tariff). What stays true everywhere: the more you consume on site, the more the installation pays for itself.
Which is exactly why pairing panels with a heat pump or a charging point is worth it.
Financing energy projects
Spread the investment rather than postpone it.
Ecolive offers financing for energy projects. The idea is simple: the savings on your bill contribute to the repayment, and you benefit from the installation from the day it is commissioned rather than several years from now.
The terms (duration, monthly payments, lender) are presented with the quote, with no commitment.
