Eco Loan

Do you wish to make changes to your home to save energy? And are you a resident of Breda and do you have a low income? If so, you can apply for an Eco Loan.

Example of energy-saving changes are: roof insulation, floor insulation, solar panels, heat pumps, cavity insulation and the installation of double/triple glazing (HR++/HR+++). You can take out the loan at a low rate.

When do you qualify for an eco loan?

• If you plan to do the jobs in your home yourself, or with the help of a builder
• If you meet the energy saving guidelines (limiting CO2 emissions)
• If you can pay back the loan within 10 years.

If you are younger than 65 years of age, the following conditions also apply:

•  You have an income of up to 130% of the statutory minimum wage
•  Your own bank will not provide a loan for energy-saving measures

But if you are younger than 65 years and your credit history isn't good, you can still apply for a loan.
