More and more homeowners are investing in solar panels, heat pumps, insulation and HR glass. Logical, because your energy costs are falling and there are attractive subsidies. But sustainability is not just about saving: it also requires a thoughtful approach.
New installations bring benefits, but can also involve risks.
- Incorrectly connected solar panels are causing fires more and more often.
- Heat pumps put an extra burden on your electrical installation.
- Poorly installed insulation can lead to moisture problems.
By choosing an authorized installer, you can be sure that your home will be adapted safely and sustainably.
Sustainable measures often affect your insurance. That's why it's good to ask yourself:
- Have all changes been reported to your insurer?
- Does the coverage still suit your home and installations?
- Has the value of your home increased and is that still true with your mortgage?
If you do not check this, it may happen that damage is not fully reimbursed.
Are you going to renovate? Then now is the time to include sustainability right away. Think about:
- Roof or facade insulation during a renovation
- HR++ glass with new frames
- Floor heating together with a heat pump
By combining smartly, you save costs and avoid duplication of work.
Those who want to make their home more sustainable do not always have to pay for it completely out of pocket. In addition to the regular mortgage, there are special sustainability mortgages and green loan parts. This often allows you to borrow extra at a low interest rate, without a risk mark-up and sometimes even with an interest discount.
The options are wide: amounts range from a few thousand euros to tens of thousands of euros, with maturities that match your mortgage. This makes it a lot easier to invest in insulation, solar panels or a heat pump.
In short: there are more financing options for sustainability than many people think. This makes it easier to take the step towards an energy-efficient and future-proof home.
