Your chance for a future-proof home
The city of Bocholt supports homeowners with energy-efficient renovations - applications are open from 16 March
How can you save energy in your own home? Which refurbishment measures are really worthwhile? And which subsidies can be utilised? Answers to these questions can now be found in the form of free, on-site energy advice.
As part of a new initiative, the city of Bocholt is helping owners to make their homes more energy-efficient, climate-friendly and future-proof.
During a personal appointment, qualified energy consultants analyse the building directly on site. The building envelope, windows, insulation and heating technology etc. are analysed. Participants then receive a report with specific refurbishment recommendations and information on funding opportunities.
A total of 100 free consultations are available. Owners of residential buildings built before 2002 can take part.
If more registrations are received than there are places available, a lottery procedure will decide on participation. NO FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED!
Why is the consultation worthwhile?
Older properties often consume more energy than necessary. With a targeted refurbishment you can:
- Reduce your energy costs in the long term,
- increase living comfort,
- benefit from state subsidies,
- and make an important contribution to climate protection.
What can you expect?
An experienced energy consultant will come directly to your home and take a close look at your building in an appointment lasting around 90 minutes:
- Building envelope & building services are analysed.
- You will receive a written report with personalised recommendations.
- You will receive information on funding opportunities for refurbishment measures.
- If required, you will receive advice on renewable energies, energy performance certificates and heat insulation measures.
Period & registration
The consultations will take place from 01 May 2026 . A specific appointment will be arranged by the consultants.
Applications for such a consultation are possible from 16 March 2026.
NO FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED PRINCIPLE! Places are not allocated according to chronological order! If more than 100 applications are received, they will first be prioritised according to age of building and then a lottery procedure will decide.
