Thermal comfort is a luxury to which each occupant of a house aspires. Having thermal comfort is to enjoy an optimal temperature in all seasons. The acquisition of this comfort goes through different steps that consist in installing accessories related to temperature management. Among these operations, we can mention the insulation work and installing heating and air conditioning devices. The concern that stands in the way of consumers is usually related to the budget. However, some measures can enable each household to carry out the work, regardless of their possibilities.
Energy renovation
Energy renovation is the set of works that tend to decrease the energy consumption within a building. It generally concerns insulation work, heating, air conditioning, and ventilation systems. This operation aims to allow the house’s occupants to benefit from all the advantages in terms of thermal comfort while spending the minimum amount of money possible.
Insulation work
Insulation work is the set of operations allowing for house insulation and regulating the interior temperature. It is also a way to protect the interior from disturbances coming from the outside, such as noise. Insulation consists of reinforcing the walls or the roof with insulating material. Its success makes it possible to limit the use of energy-consuming appliances.
Heating
Heating is an installation that warms the interior of a house in periods of extreme cold. However, using a heating system has a cost, both ecologically and on the electricity bill. Indeed, wood heaters generate harmful gases such as carbon dioxide, while electric heaters consume a lot of electricity. It is, therefore, necessary to opt for a less polluting and more economical solution such as heaters that run on solar energy.
Air conditioning
Unlike heating, air conditioning allows you to cool the interior of your home during hot seasons. Air conditioners and ventilation units are the most common devices available to us. Like heaters, these devices consume a lot of energy. Opting for a less expensive installation is the only way to enjoy comfort at a lower cost.
Green standards
These days, ecology is the focus of all attention. Energy consumption is no less concerned since government measures now impose standards on domestic installations. Every home must therefore comply with ecological requirements. The construction itself must comply with specific criteria, while the heating or air conditioning appliances must be powered by renewable energy.
Financial aid
Faced with the cost of the work, which can be significant, the State provides citizens with renovation grants to facilitate and encourage the realization of energy renovation work. Financial aid is offered according to work done.
The Bonus of Exit of Sieve
This is a bonus granted to an owner who has carried out work to improve the thermal performance of his house.
The Low Consumption Building Bonus
It is granted when the house in question reaches the required consumption standards.
The Global Renovation Package
This is a subsidy granted to a household whose income is at an intermediate level; it aims to encourage the owner to carry out as many improvements as possible.
The Project Management Assistance Package
This subsidy is granted to those who wish to be accompanied during the execution of the work.
Conditions of Access to the Bonus
Every citizen can benefit from the renovation premium. However, the acquisition of this one is subjected to conditions according to the situation. The amount of the subsidy depends on the income of the beneficiary and the nature of the work done. The work must be carried out by companies with the RGE label. The client must first draw up an estimate of the work and submit an application file on a site dedicated to the renovation bonus.
