Luxembourg Offers Up to 90% Subsidy for Energy-Efficient Home Appliances

Low-income households in Luxembourg struggling with high energy costs can now receive significant financial assistance to replace old, energy-intensive appliances with new, efficient ones. The initiative is part of the government’s program “Assistance to Households in a Situation of Energy Precariousness”, which aims to help families reduce their energy bills and improve living conditions.

Since its launch in 2016, the program has provided 621 services and helped replace 145 household appliances, according to recent government data. The numbers continue to grow as more families benefit from this targeted support.

Who Can Apply
The program is open to low-income households facing energy poverty, meaning families who cannot afford to adequately heat their homes or have struggled to pay electricity, gas, water, or heating bills in the past year. To qualify, households must be registered with the competent social security service and receive energy advice from Klima-Agence, Luxembourg’s national energy and climate advisory body.

How the Process Works
The social office identifies eligible households during a home visit and through the completion of the F100 form. Once eligibility is confirmed, families are invited to join the program.

Klima-Agence then contacts the selected families to schedule an energy and behavioural counselling consultation. Based on this evaluation, experts may recommend replacing old appliances such as refrigerators, freezers, washing machines, dryers, and dishwashers with low-consumption models (minimum energy class indicated on form F101).

The list of eligible appliances can be found on oekotopten.lu, a government-supported website that promotes energy-efficient products.

Applying for the Subsidy
To receive financial support, families must submit the completed F101 form (provided by Klima-Agence) along with a written request (F102) to their social service office and proof of purchase or recycling of the replaced appliances.

What the Program Covers
Participating households benefit from:

• Personalized energy advice by Klima-Agence, to raise awareness and improve energy efficiency habits.
• Financial aid for replacing old appliances with energy-efficient ones.

State Contribution
The subsidy, funded by the Climate and Energy Fund, covers up to 90% of the appliance’s VAT-inclusive price, with a maximum of €1,000 per appliance. The social service initially advances the payment, which is later reimbursed by the Ministry of the Environment, Climate and Biodiversity.

This initiative not only helps vulnerable families lower their energy bills but also supports Luxembourg’s broader climate goals by promoting energy efficiency in households across the country.
