Laat-het-isoleren-subsidie
Is your home poorly insulated and was the WOZ value in 2022 no more than €429,300? If you use this subsidy to hire an insulation company, you can receive up to half of the costs back with the ‘Laat-het-isoleren-subsidie’. You can apply until 1 December 2026. While stocks last.
