Boverket's application service opens at 09:00 on 1 September. The grant covers up to 30 percent of necessary material costs, but not labour. A grant must be at least SEK 10,000, which means eligible material costs must reach SEK 33,334.
Applicants must own and permanently live in a detached, semi-detached, terraced or linked house with a value year before 1990. Homes already connected to district heating and holiday homes are excluded.
Eligible work includes installing certain controllable heat pumps, water-based heating, heat-recovery ventilation or biofuel equipment. Added insulation, draught-proofing and qualifying window or door upgrades are also covered.
Applications normally must arrive within six months of work starting. For eligible work begun between 17 October 2025 and 31 August 2026, the deadline is 28 February 2027.
County administrative boards assess applications and decide whether to award the money. Boverket says applicants should prepare technical specifications and proof of when materials were ordered before filing.
