boiler subsidies
An amount of 1.7 billion CZK was allocated to families with lower incomes for the replacement of boilers I. and II. distribution class. Now there are still 800 billion CZK left in the program. The boiler subsidy system has been operating in the Czech Republic since 2015, and so far 105,000 boilers have been replaced thanks to it, costing CZK 11 billion.
Although it is a program of the Ministry of the Environment, the regional authorities accept applications, which also pay the money. Therefore, the interested person must always contact the office, under which his residence falls. The authorities are accepting grant applications from the summer of 2023 until the end of August 2024.
Who can apply for a subsidy?
The money is only for families with a lower income, i.e. the elderly, disabled pensioners (the applicant and all members of his family receive an old-age pension or a disability pension for a disability of the third degree) and people who is receiving housing allowance (the applicant in the period between 1 January 2022 and receiving housing allowance when you submit the application).
However, the applicant must be the owner or co-owner of real property – a family home, apartment unit or permanent recreational property.
What do applicants get?
The subsidy can cover up to 95 percent of eligible costs, which means construction costs, supplies and services related to the implementation of new heating. However, it only applies to installations made from January 1, 2021. The amount can reach up to CZK 180,000 depending on the type of new store.

In the past, boiler subsidies were only paid retroactively, but thanks to changes in the household, they will receive the money in advance. They are paid by regional authorities.
Why the money?
To replace the boiler with solid fuel I. and II. distribution class. People can find the emission class on the production label of their boiler. The old heating system must be replaced by a more ecological source, supported by subsidies. Supported sources include biomass boilers with manual fuel supply, including storage tanks, biomass boilers with automatic fuel supply, electric and gas heat pumps. However, air-to-air heat pumps are not supported.
Subsidy of fault: Contracts
First, you need to fill out the support request form. The applicant must prove that he is using a boiler of the class required for its replacement with verification of an inspection of the technical condition and operation of the existing solid fuel burning source.
Photographic documentation of the existing boiler connected to the heating system and the chimney body must also be recorded.
The office must also be sure that the applicant falls into the group targeted by the boiler subsidies. Therefore, the home still proves the application to draw a pension or housing allowance and proof of permanent residence in the place where the boiler is to be changed.
If the building has co-owners, the applicant must also give their written permission to replace the heat source. Or other subscriptions defined by the respective department.
What must be recorded after the boiler is replaced?
Once the applicant has submitted the new resource, the grant application process does not end for them. They still need to provide their regional office photo documentation of the newly installed heat source, a copy of the document about the installation and commissioning of the new heat source. If the new heat source is a flue gas source, copy the flue gas route review report. They also need copies of invoices or tax documents and an ecological disposal certificate of the old boiler. Or other documents required by the relevant department.
New green savings
Families who do not meet the criteria to receive a subsidy from the program for low-income applicants can receive money from the New Green Savings program. It now supports the replacement of boilers older than 20 years.
Who can apply for a subsidy?
Only owners of houses and flats used for permanent housing or communities of owners of housing units of existing apartment buildings and housing cooperatives can apply for a subsidy. Owners of housing units can apply for a subsidy to replace the store separately.
What can subsidies be used for?
The program supports several types of heating, which can be used to replace boilers I. and II. distribution class. Those interested can obtain funding for a biomass boiler, a local biomass source, heat pumps, self-built biomass storage stoves and a connection to the heat supply system. Apartment buildings can also attract money for the combined production of electricity and heat.
How high is it possible to get a subsidy?
The subsidy can reach up to 50 percent of eligible costs, therefore from 40 to 140 thousand crowns depending on the new resource type.

Why the money?
The new green savings are mainly for energy saving solutions, such as the insulation of the house, the replacement of windows, the installation of solar power plants, etc. However, households can also get a subsidy to replace boilers that are over 20 years old. Boilers I. and II also fall into this category. distribution class.
With the support of New Green Savings, the old heating source can be replaced with a heat pump, biomass boiler, combined electricity and heat production or biomass storage stove. Subsidies also apply to connecting the house to the heat supply system.
How to apply for a subsidy from New Green Savings?
Subsidies will be paid back. It is therefore possible to submit applications during or after the implementation of the boiler, that is electronically through the Agenda information system State Environmental Fund.
New green savings: Terms and conditions
The applicant needs a subsidy submit a verification of the technical condition and operation of the original heat source, which determines the boiler’s emission class. They must also provide photographic documentation of the existing boiler connected to the heating system and the chimney body.
After the replacement, the home must provide documentation of a photo of the newly installed heat source, proof of installation and commissioning of the source, a report on the gas route review, if the source is new heat is a burning source. A collection report prepared by an authorized person and a certificate of ecological disposal of the old boiler are also required.
