By improving the energy performance of your property, energy renovation helps boost its value: what work to carry out, who to call upon, and what aids to apply for? Find all the answers to your questions in the article that follows!
Do you know about the DPE?
The DPE, or Energy Performance Diagnosis, is a document that is now mandatory for any sale or rental of a property. Whether you are posting your ad through an agency or on the Internet, it is important to have it completed by an independent diagnostician.
This document informs interested parties about your property’s energy performance: its consumption and carbon footprint. It may even suggest some work to be done to optimize the performance of the said property. Properties are classified from A to G, with the latter rating indicating a thermal sieve – now prohibited for renting.
The DPE is an important element for successfully selling your real estate: it is indeed a good indicator of the value of this property, since households are increasingly looking for a green (non-polluting or low-polluting) and economical home.
The benefits of energy renovation
Energy renovation has several advantages concerning the value of your property. Indeed, it allows you to improve the energy performance of your home by enhancing its insulation or heating system. It can even go further, thanks to the installation of photovoltaic solar panels on your roof, which will enable you to make a profit on your selling price.
Thanks to energy renovation, savings of up to 60% on energy costs can be achieved. It also helps reduce the carbon footprint of your home: enough to attract potential buyers or tenants!
How to carry out your energy renovation?
Thermal insulation is the first step in a successful energy renovation. Indeed, a poorly insulated home, which can be a thermal sieve, lets the energy consumed for your heating escape (this is called thermal losses). However, these thermal losses generally lead to pollution and unnecessary consumption.
Several insulation points should be prioritized:
your walls;
your attics;
your ground floors;
your openings (windows or doors).
These different points of thermal loss do not require the same work, nor do they represent the same budget: to determine the priorities of your real estate, consult with a professional in energy renovation (other providers are available in the online directory of Hello Watt). They can carry out an energy audit, helping you prepare for your energy renovation work and the associated budget.
Opt for an efficient heating system
Once your home is well insulated, it is possible to optimize your energy savings by opting for an efficient heating system. This should be economical, ecological, while providing you with uniform heating throughout your home.
Among the heating options to consider, the heat pump (PAC), electric boiler, or pellet boiler are all interesting solutions. To find out more, click here!

What assistance is available for energy renovation?
Investing in energy renovation, despite a good return on investment, sometimes requires a significant initial budget. This depends on the type of work to be done, the cost of the labor you hire, or even the size of your property.
However, many financial aids exist to support individuals who wish to make their energy transition. Instituted by public authorities, they are cumulative and subject to eligibility criteria. This is the case, for example, with the reduced VAT rate, Ma Prime Rénov’, or the heating grant and the zero-interest eco-loan (Eco-PTZ). Don't hesitate to turn to your local authority as well: it also offers various financial aids!
