The system which allows energy renovation work to be financed is changing this Wednesday, May 15. Among the main changes expected with a view to simplifying the system: the return of smaller-scale works that the government had excluded at the start of the year.

After a reduction in the amount of aid on April 1, the MaPrimeRénov' system, which allows energy renovation work to be financed, is further evolving this Wednesday, May 15.

Return of the Monogestures

Faced with the plummeting requests for aid for housing renovation, of the order of – 43% compared to the previous year according to data from Anah cited by our colleagues from France Bleu, the government chose to backpedal and relax the conditions of access to state aid.

MaPrimeRénov' is therefore once again open to smaller scale, so-called “monogest” work, such as changing a window, insulating a wall or a wall. a roof, or even the removal of an oil cellar.

No more need for DPE

The modification of the system also concerns thermal strainers, that is to say housing classified F and G in the energy performance diagnosis (DPE), which will be prohibited for rental l&rsquo ;next year. From May 15 and until December 31, owners will be able to apply for MaPrimeRénov’ for renovations by gestures without having to provide DPE.

Individuals wishing to carry out renovation work in their home must call upon a professional recognized as an environmental guarantor (RGE). However, only 62,000 artisans currently have this label out of the 725,000 companies in the sector. Faced with this obstacle, the government therefore plans to simplify the label "in order to make the system more attractive".
