Switching to eco-friendly heating systems is strongly supported in Austria. In particular, the use of heat pumps is the focus of numerous subsidy programs. This article explains which subsidies are currently available and how you can apply for them.

Why are heat pumps subsidized?

Heat pumps use the energy stored in the environment and convert it into heating energy. They are efficient, reduce CO₂ emissions and lower your energy costs in the long term. The Austrian government supports this switch to promote the use of renewable energy.

• Requirements:
• The existing heating system must be a fossil fuel system (e.g., oil or gas).
