Apply for funding for the replacement of electric heating systems
Procedure
The Senator for Climate Protection, Environment, Mobility, Urban Development and Housing (granting agency) has commissioned the swb customer center in Bremen and Bremerhaven to process the applications for funding (application agency).
The subsidies are not paid out until the entire system has been completed, accepted and put into operation and a cost summary has been submitted to the approval office. In the case of installment payment transactions, a first installment in the amount of the grant must be paid to the installment payment vendor immediately after disbursement of the grant.
The current eligibility requirements and amounts can be found in the "Replacement of Electric Heating Systems" funding guideline and the implementation regulations. The combination of the subsidy with subsidies from third parties is permissible as long as the total of grants, loans and allowances does not exceed the total of the expenses.
Legal bases

In justified cases, the replacement of electric space heating systems with gas-fired floor heating systems with integrated or coupled hot water supply systems may be funded as an exception.
Measures that are subsidized may not lead to rent increases.
