Energy renovation: what if your energy savings financed your work?

Who has never dreamed of reducing their energy consumption and bills? At a time when ecology is taking up more and more space in the daily lives of French households, we will see here how, thanks to various aids and an innovative financing solution, energy renovation very often turns out to be a good investment.

An innovative concept to finance its renovation

“It is energy savings that finance the work. » That’s a great promise! But in reality, how can this work? Here are the practical explanations of this new concept, called “third-party financing”. As soon as you wish to undertake energy renovation work, you can benefit from expertise to identify the energy savings estimated on your invoices and the aid that can be mobilized. This is, for example, the whole purpose of a energy audit carried out by advisors from the Regional Agency for Energy Saving Works in Nouvelle-Aquitaine. This step makes it possible to determine the potential energy savings generated by the work and to associate it with a long-term financing solution, the monthly payments of which are calculated precisely based on the savings.

Objective: comprehensive and efficient renovation

For this system to work, energy gains must reach a minimum of 40%. It is from this threshold that the financing solution becomes interesting, for several reasons. Overall renovation is always more efficient than piecemeal renovation, because we deal with all the energy issues of the house in one go. It also avoids having to undergo long months of work...! Finally, overall renovation allows you to add value to a property! Conversely, an energy-intensive house, poorly classified on the energy label, loses up to 19% of its value... A study of notariessums up this concept well.

Renovating, a green investment?

Every year, the price of energy increases. Fossil fuels will become increasingly rare in the future, and we all know the adage “whatever is rare is expensive.” » So if the work represents a certain cost, it can quickly prove to be winning and profitable in the medium or long term. And of course, a renovated house is much more comfortable, pleasant to live in and will last for many years! Another point, when you renovate your home, you are making a considerable gesture for the environment. Indeed, housing represents a large part of energy consumption and must absolutely be approached as a sustainable solution to preserve our planet.
