Revolution in the 'Clean Air' Program – What Changes in July 2026?

New Support Rules

Effective July 20, 2026, key updates to the 'Clean Air' program come into force. These changes affect both the eligibility criteria for subsidies and the formal procedures for submitting applications.

Key improvements for applicants:

• Accessibility: New exceptions to the 3-year ownership rule have been introduced.
• Higher funding: An additional 10% support is now available for selected thermal modernization works.
• More time: The deadline for completing works funded by advances has been extended from 120 to 180 days.
• Simplified documentation: The list of people authorized to certify completed work has been expanded.

Future Outlook

The program focuses on efficiency – after 2026, support for electric heating other than heat pumps will be phased out. If you are planning to invest in your home, be sure to check the full guidelines!
