Germany Offers Subsidies for Energy-Efficient Window Renewal
Homeowners in Germany can now benefit from state subsidies for window renewal, with schemes like the Federal Funding for Efficient Buildings (BEG) covering both investment and installation costs. This makes it an ideal time to upgrade to energy-efficient double or triple glazing.
Double glazing significantly improves thermal insulation, preventing mold and thermal bridging. It's a popular choice due to its affordability, with costs ranging from 300 to 1,200 euros per window, including installation fees of 300 to 600 euros. However, for those seeking superior energy efficiency, triple glazing is an option, albeit at a higher price.
Specialized companies like Fensterbester and Kubasch, along with local energy advisors, can assist with applications for BAFA and KfW subsidies, reducing the financial burden. Professional installation is crucial to avoid increased costs, especially in renovation projects that often require complex work to adapt to existing structures. In new builds, standard window installation is cheaper due to optimal structural conditions.
With state subsidies and professional installation, homeowners can now affordably upgrade to energy-efficient windows. Double glazing offers excellent value, while triple glazing provides superior efficiency. Specialized companies can guide through the application process, making window renewal a viable and beneficial option.
