Energy renovation works, carried out with the MaPrimeRénov’ system, have continued to decline for several months. Specifically, Between January and March 2024, the number of works of this type fell by 43% compared to the same period in 2023according to Anah’s data.

To remedy this, the government decided, in consultation with Capeb and the FFB, simplify the 2024 version of MaPrimeRénov’. This new version of the system will come into force on May 15, recalls the energy transition specialist HelloWatt in a press release.

What changes for the new version of MaPrimeRénov’?

The current version of the MaPrimeRénov conditions supports insulation work in the concomitant installation of heating or domestic hot water production equipment that runs on renewable energy, such as a heat pump (PAC). A measure criticized because it would have forced some homeowners recently equipped with a new heating system to replace it again if they wanted to benefit from aid to improve the insulation of their home.

A problem that will no longer occur with the new version, sinceIt will now be possible to subsidize insulation work without changing the heating system.. Good news for professionals in the sector, who remember that Insulating a home is the first essential step before looking for a better heating system..

Good news also for owners of homes classified F and G, who will once again be able to benefit from MaPrimeRénov aid to carry out a single energy renovation gesture. A decision that was made when, as of July 1, 2024, specific actions in favor of thermal filters were excluded from aid, in order to favor large-scale renovations that more significantly improve the performance of a living place.

Furthermore, it will no longer be mandatory to present a DPE to benefit from MaPrimeRénov’ during a gesture renewal. However, the energy audit carried out by a Rénov’ Companion remains mandatory to request MaPrimeRénov’ within the framework of a global renewal.

preserve what is good

The new version fixes several system deficiencies, but doesn’t completely change things. The initial structure of MaPrimeRénov’ remains unchangedwith two different routes.

The MaPrimeRénov’ Parcours par Gesture course subsidizes actions in a differentiated manner depending on the renovation choices made by the owner of the property. For example, aid can subsidize the replacement of windows, the insulation of walls or even the change of the heating system.

As for the MaPrimeRénov Supported Trip, this trip subsidizes a series of energy renovation works. It is necessary to carry out at least two insulation actions (roof, window/carpentry, floors or walls) to qualify. The work can be done in one or two stages.

For homeowners to receive subsidies, the work must improve the energy efficiency of the home in at least two classes.
