Subsidy possible if you have already insulated
The Nij Begun insulation subsidy has been available since 2 September 2025 for people who wish to insulate their homes. Applications for this subsidy can be submitted until 2035.
Homeowners who have already insulated their homes can apply for a subsidy retroactively. The main condition is that the insulation work was commissioned between 25 April 2023 and 3 June 2025, or that the insulation was carried out during this period. Retroactive subsidy applications can still be submitted until 1 October 2026.
It is also possible to apply retroactively for the municipal GOUD Isoleert subsidy. The GOUD Savings Team can assist with applications for both subsidies.
