Insulation Action Opsterland
Many people worry about their energy bills. The municipality understands that this makes you feel insecure and would like to help. By improving the insulation in your home, you reduce your energy costs. Good insulation keeps heat in and cold out. So you need to heat less. And you pay less energy costs.
Municipality of Opsterland now has an insulation promotion. We offer you € 2,177 to spend on insulation in your home.
You can participate in this action when your house is not yet properly insulated and the WOZ value of your house is lower than € 429,300(reference date 01-01-2022).
A well-insulated house is always nice and warm and saves you hundreds of euros a year! Don't wait too long and apply for the money. You will benefit immediately!
