Frequently asked questions
Can I apply for the PREE grant and the income tax deduction at the same time?
Yes, but the income tax deduction base must subtract the subsidised portion. If the grant covers 40% of the cost, the deduction applies to the remaining 60%.
Do grants also cover underfloor heating?
Generally yes, if underfloor heating is installed together with the aerothermal heat pump and forms part of an overall energy renovation.
