You are entitled to the grant if your home meets the following conditions:

• WOZ value of the property is under € 429,300.

• The WOZ value of your home exceeds €429,300.
• Your home has energy label A, B or C or you have only one building component to be insulated.

The energy label is known if your home was recently bought or sold. You may be able to see the label via the Environment website at

You can apply for the grant starting Sept. 2, 2024.

This project runs until December 31, 2026. However, we are bound by the agreements on nature-friendly insulation. This means that it is possible that we have already insulated in your neighborhood and you cannot start for the time being. So if you want to make sure you can participate, sign up as soon as possible!

After applying, an energy coach always visits you first. He or she assesses whether there are two parts of the house to be insulated. This tells us immediately whether you are eligible for the subsidy.

Does your home have a WOZ value under €429,300 (reference date January 1, 2022) and is energy label D, E, F or G? Or do you think there are at least 2 building parts to insulate? But can't get any further on the website? Then send an email to contact@groenegroei.nl with the following information:

• Your name
• Your address, zip code and city
• Your phone number and email address

You will receive a response within 2 business days.

Residents of Gemert-Bakel municipality can receive up to € 2,151 subsidy per address for insulation measures. In addition, the municipality reimburses € 49,- for the visit of an energy coach. In total there is therefore a maximum of € 2,200 available per home, if it meets the conditions.

The energy coach always visits the home at the start of your subsidy application. The conditions for subsidy are laid down in the "subsidy regulation for local approach insulation", which are based on national requirements. Whether a house meets these conditions and which measures are best suited for the house and the resident, the energy coach draws up a report. Based on this report, the resident can (possibly with assistance) request non-binding quotes in the next step of the subsidy application.

No, you can't. The procedure unfortunately does not allow it.

• Through the website, schedule a home visit (starting Sept. 2).
• A (local) energy coach visits your home and looks at what measures are possible.
• You will receive a quote for the insulation measures that may need to be carried out or you will request a quote yourself from a supplier you select.
• The chosen party will schedule an appointment with you to perform the work.
• Be sure to take pictures before, during and when the job is done.
• Work will be performed.
• You receive an invoice directly with a discount when you choose a quote from a pre-selected supplier. When you have selected your own supplier, you will receive an invoice for the entire amount and then submit it through the system. You will then receive your subsidy afterwards.
• You can enjoy lower energy bills in a comfortable and warm home.

Yes, there certainly are. For more information about the ISDE subsidy, check out this .

Yes, this can be done, for example, through the National Heat Fund external icon.

• Roof insulation
• Floor or bottom insulation
• Cavity wall insulation
• Façade insulation
• Windows, doors and frame panels
• CO2-controlled ventilation/ventilation with heat recovery

We always start with a home visit where an energy coach comes by. The energy coach looks at which measures are suitable for your home.

Yes you can.

• Homeowners sign up (as of Sept. 2) through the platform on the webpage about insulatingexternal icon.
• After that, you also always make an appointment with an energy coach for more information.
• Make sure photos are taken before, during and after isolation.
• The resident then purchases materials and performs the insulation measures themselves. The subsidy is paid to the resident afterwards.
  This Do It Yourself (DIY) method can only be used if it is also possible according to the agreements around nature-friendly , such as floor insulation, replacing windows, insulating the inside of the roof.

Yes, you certainly can, but not within this project. With this insulation project, you are prepared to purchase a heat pump later.

Yes, you can stay in your home. Depending on the work, there will be minimal inconvenience.

Insulation helps directly against mold. When your home is no longer damp, you can have mold removed. With proper ventilation, it won't come back.

Yes. All operations that do not involve touching asbestos are permitted, though remediation of asbestos is a wise choice. By this we mean removing/replacing the parts with asbestos.

These performing companies have already been checked. The companies in the overview meet the conditions and agreements have been made with them about the working method (no price agreements have been made). You can request a no-obligation quote from them.

Want to request a quote from a company not yet listed? Then register the company by emailing contact@groenegroei.nl, we will take care of the verification. If the company meets the conditions , you can also request a quote from them through the system. The advantage is that the subsidy is then also immediately settled on the invoice, so the invoice is also immediately lower.
