House bonus, last call. You only have a few days left to take advantage of the most generous discounts to renovate your second home or install a condensing boiler on your property. Starting in 2025, registration will change. The bonus for efficiency work in second homes has fallen from 50% to 36%, while the incentive to buy and install new, more environmentally friendly boilers has all but disappeared.
With the financial measure amendment approved by the Chamber Budget Commission, it is envisaged that “interventions to replace winter air conditioning systems with single boilers running on fossil fuels” will be removed from the list of works that qualify for the bonus. . In short, from January it will only be possible to reduce the installation costs of hybrid systems (but which have a significant cost), biomass boilers or heat pumps. The government’s choice was actually a mandatory choice after the European Parliament’s directive on ‘green homes’.
How are bonuses changing in 2025?
In the incentive to renovate your home, the deduction will be 50 percent only for first homes and 36 percent for other homes. In 2025, there will be a new cut in the Superbonus and the rate will increase to 65%, and then it will be completely removed from 2026. That’s not all. There is also news of Ecobonus, a tax break earmarked for energy-saving work such as heat pump installation or thermal insulation. For interventions on main houses, the rates increase from 65% to 50% and there is a spending ceiling of 96 thousand euros per property unit. For second homes, this rate drops to 36%, up to 48 thousand euros.
Last days to benefit from discounts
In short, those who want to benefit from the incentives without falling into the “trap” will need to do everything quickly. As for boilers, you can have a condensing combi boiler installed until December 31st and benefit from a 50% discount. At the same time, anyone who has to make an intervention that falls under the ecobonus will have to make the payment within a few days if they want to benefit from the larger discount of 65%. The same goes for the renovation of second homes. Of course, unless you’ve moved in a few days (or weeks) in advance, it’s difficult to organize everything around the Christmas holidays in the last two interventions.
