Which energy source should you choose for your heating system?

Do you heat your home with natural gas or heating oil? In addition to being major sources of CO₂ emissions, these energy sources are subject to frequent price increases.

Fortunately, there are renewable, cost-effective alternatives that qualify for financial assistance:

• Heat pumps: They use energy naturally present in the air or ground to heat your home
• Wood-burning (stove, insert, pellet boiler)

The French government is strongly encouraging the electrification of homes through financial incentives (e.g., MaPrimeRénov’, CEE). Learn about the “Électrifions la France” plan (French) and estimate your financial incentives using the France Renov’ simulator.

If a district heating network runs near your home, you may want to consider connecting to it, even though this is still an uncommon solution for heating single-family homes: check your eligibility on France Chaleur Urbaine.
