Subsidy for energy-saving housing measures
Do you live in a poorly insulated home in the City of Leeuwarden? Then you may be entitled to a subsidy for energy-saving home measures. For example, floor insulation, soil insulation or insulating glass. Do-it-yourselfers can also apply for a subsidy. In this way you can make your home more comfortable and energy efficient. €2,225,000 is available for this grant. Grants will be made as long as there is budget available.
What do you need for the application?
Hand in the following documents with your application:
- A quote with your name, address and place of residence on it.
- A description of every energy-saving measure or home improvement that is being done. Also state the name of the (insulation) material used.
- The costs you have incurred.
Are you going to make the house more sustainable yourself?
- A plan containing the work to be carried out.
- An overview of the expected costs.
- A schedule of the work that must also be feasible.
- In the event of a boiler replacement: Proof that the old boiler is 15 years or older. You can prove this with an invoice or a photo of the type number.
- You can only receive a subsidy for the costs of the materials, not for your own hours.
Cavity wall insulation not possible
In practice, the municipality of Leeuwarden cannot currently provide a subsidy for cavity wall or roof insulation from outside. Bat and bird species can nest in the cavity walls and roofs of a home. Disturbing and killing these species and destroying their habitats is prohibited on the basis of the Environmental Act and the Living Environment Activities Decree. We are working on ways to make insulation possible in a nature-friendly way. As soon as this is possible, more information about the possibility of a subsidy will be available on this page. If you would like to know more, you can visit the website about nature-friendly insulation of the province of Fryslân.
