Funding for Boiler Replacement Returns: Applications Possible from November

The federal government is restarting the Renovation Offensive 2025. After the abrupt funding stop in December 2024, a clear framework for boiler replacement and thermal renovation is now set to apply until 2030. A total of 1.8 billion euros is available for this. New is that only up to 30 percent of the total costs will be funded – significantly less than in the old model, where it was up to 75 percent.

Application from November

Funding applications can be submitted from mid-November at https://www.sanierungsoffensive.gv.at/. Services carried out from October 3rd are already eligible for retroactive funding. A combination with state funding remains possible to enhance the total funding.

Goal: Replace 30,000 fossil heating systems per year

According to Environment and Climate Minister Norbert Totschnig (ÖVP), the measure aims to replace more than 30,000 fossil heating systems annually with climate-friendly alternatives. This corresponds to an expected CO₂ reduction of 270,000 tons per year. Additionally, houses are to become more efficient through thermal renovation.

Fixed annual budget as protection against funding stop

To prevent the premature exhaustion of funds, as happened in 2024, the government will set an annual budget of 360 million euros in the future. The sum is evenly distributed over five years until 2030. This is intended to ensure that the funding remains continuously and reliably available according to plan.
