More support for insulation: save on your energy costs

The municipality of Kerkrade and the WoonWijzerWinkel Limburg have been working together on the Parkstad Insulation Project for some time now. Thanks to this subsidy, many homeowners have been able to better insulate their homes and save energy.

To help more residents, the rules have now been amended. The subsidy has also been temporarily increased.

Good for your energy bill

Insulating your home helps to retain heat, which means you use less energy. This reduces your energy costs and makes your home more comfortable. 

Because energy is expensive, the municipality considers it important that as many residents as possible receive assistance in insulating their homes.

Alderman Drunen (Sustainability) says: "With the Parkstad Insulation Project, we are helping residents pay less for energy. In this way, we are working together on 't Kichroa va Mörje: a sustainable and future-proof Kerkrade. We want as many residents as possible to be able to take advantage of this. That is why we have changed the rules."

What has changed?

The municipality has expanded the scheme to help more residents:

  • Are you planning to insulate your home yourself? If so, you may be eligible for a DIY subsidy of up to €1,300.
  • Are you having two building components improved by a company? If so, the subsidy has been temporarily increased to a maximum of €2,300 (previously €1,300).
  • The maximum WOZ value has been increased from €211,000 to €247,000.
  • Homeowners' associations can also participate. 

When can you participate?

You can participate in the Parkstad Insulation Project if:

  • The WOZ value of your home is less than €247,000 (reference date January 1, 2022).
  • Your home was built before 1992.
  • Your home has at least two structural elements that could be improved or renovated. These include: glass, window frames, flooring, roof, or walls. This often applies to homes with energy labels D, E, F, or G. You can also apply without a registered energy label.

What happens after registration?

After registering, an Energy Saving Coach will visit your home free of charge. You will receive a personalized Energy Saving Plan at no cost. This plan includes:

  • Which insulation measures are suitable for your home?
  • Approximate cost of the measures
  • How much subsidy you can count on
  • How much you can save on your energy bill

Then you decide for yourself whether you want to get started.
