The government is launching six initial integrated offers to accelerate the installation of heat pumps in low-income households. The key: installation, electricity, maintenance and financing combined in the same offer.
Publi-Information 
The government unveiled on Wednesday September 30 the first six winners of the call for projects launched in July for a “integrated offer for heat pumps“a flagship measure of the electrification plan announced last spring. His ambition: simplify and accelerate the transition to a heat pump thanks to a turnkey solutionbringing together within the same offer the installation, the supply of electricity at a fixed price, the maintenance and management of the equipment, but also the financing of the remainder payable.
To make these offers accessible to as many people as possible, the government has chosen to mobilize additional aid which will concretely allow households to make their investment profitable in three years, without increasing their monthly expenses compared to their current bill. With this first selection, the deployment enters an operational phase: the six winners commit to installing 55,000 additional heat pumps.
The first pre-orders are open this Thursday, October 1st.
Moving towards one million heat pumps
This new offer contributes to achieving theobjective set by the government in the electrification plan : A million heat pumps installed in 2030. The offer is aimed at owners of individual homes belonging to very low and low income categories as defined by the National Housing Agency and represents an average aid of €9,800 per household. As a reminder, a very modest household of two people has an annual income of less than €25,116, less than €40,339 for five people, while a modest household of two people has an annual income of less than €32,198 and less than €51,776 for five people. Concretely, the overall monthly payment after work, which includes the reimbursement of the remainder payable by the heat pumpelectricity expenses and the maintenance contract, must be less than or equal to the monthly energy expenditure of the household before the work, calculated under conventional conditions of use and temperature and with the energy prices either on the date of subscription, or on the basis of historical average annual prices. The offers have been designed to allow, in the vast majority of cases, fully repay the remaining cost of the heat pump in three years.

– A maintenance contract of at least three years, covering regular maintenance as well as interventions in the event of a breakdown;

– On-site checks for 70% of installations to verify the conformity of the installed equipment and the quality of installation.
