Cost factors
The total cost usually consists of:

- Installation: 20-30% of the total
- Electrical and piping: 10-15% of the total

- Outdoor unit location: Placement and noise requirements can add work.
- System adjustments: Piping and electrical upgrades influence cost.
- Insulation level: Better insulation can reduce required capacity.
Subsidies & incentives
For the purchase and installation of a heat pump, you may be eligible for regional renovation grants (Investment Subsidy for Sustainable Energy and Energy Savings). This subsidy is available for existing homes (not for new construction) and can significantly reduce your investment.
regional grants Subsidy 2026
The regional renovation grants for heat pumps works as follows:
- Base amount for first air-water heat pump: €1,025
- Amount per kW: €225 per kilowatt from 1 kW onwards
- A+++ label bonus: €200 extra for heat pumps with EPC rating A+++
- Minimum subsidy: €500
Example Calculation
An air-water heat pump of 4 kW with A+++ label qualifies for:
- Base amount: €1,025
- 4 kW × €225 = €900
- A+++ bonus: €200
- Total: €2,125 subsidy

- Budget: €509 million has been allocated for regional renovation grants in 2026.
- Application period: You can apply for subsidy from January 5, 2026 until December 31, 2030, within 24 months after installation.
- Important change: From 2026, there is no longer a subsidy for split air-water heat pumps with a refrigerant charge below 3 kg and a GWP (Global Warming Potential) above 750. This mainly concerns heat pumps with refrigerants R410A and R407C.
