Did you know that in France every home will have to be fitted with an automatic room-by-room heating temperature control system? Originally set for 1 January 2027 for existing homes, this requirement has been postponed to 1 January 2030; it does, however, apply to new builds from 1 January 2027.
To help households prepare for the decree of 7 June 2023 on heating and cooling temperature control systems, which introduced this new requirement, a “Coup de pouce” incentive scheme had been set up. It ended in November 2024.
Want to know what this scheme involved and what still applies today? Here are the answers 👇
What did this French government “Coup de pouce” involve?
It was a grant of between €260 and €624, depending on the floor area of your home, for installing a room-by-room time-programmed control system in residential buildings.
What period did the scheme cover?
The scheme applied to operations started from 1 December 2023. It was withdrawn by a ministerial order of 18 November 2024 for operations started from 22 November 2024 onwards.
Who could benefit from this “Coup de pouce”?
The grant was not means-tested: anyone could apply.
It was therefore open to all households with an individual heating system. Please note, however, that it did not apply to communal heating systems.
What work is involved?
The aim is to use less energy by fitting homes with control systems (connected thermostats, receivers, sensors, etc.) that allow precise temperature management in each room according to how it is used.
This therefore concerns the whole home: every room with a radiator, underfloor heating, etc. must be fitted with a control system, and this system must be adapted to each room according to the time of day.
Only operations consisting of the purchase and installation of a control system with room-by-room time programming are therefore eligible for French energy savings certificates (CEE, standard sheet BAR-TH-173). According to the official sheet, it is repealed from 1 January 2027.
Do I need to use an installer?
Yes. To receive a CEE grant under this sheet, the installation must be carried out by a professional holding a quality label (RGE).
