This state check will soon no longer be paid.
There are not dozens of aid paid by the State to everyone, without taking into account differences in income. So, when a system is introduced to help all households, whoever they are, it is better to take advantage of it. Because at a time of budgetary restrictions, the payment of a new check to everyone is not planned for tomorrow. Even when it comes to participating in the financing of mandatory equipment.
It is in this sense that, at the beginning of December, the State created a new check for the French. Objective: to help all households install a connected thermostat in their home. You may have missed this information, but as of 1er January 2027, all housing must have one. Tenants, owners, primary residences, secondary residences… There must be them everywhere. Except that this equipment is not free, far from it.
From 100 to 1000 euros, the cost of a temperature regulator can quickly add up, according to the statements provided by Hello Watt, a comparator in the energy field. However, it will therefore be obligatory to proceed with its installation. Faced with this burden imposed by the State, aid has therefore been created: the “Help for connected heating control room by room”. Its amount is not negligible since it starts at 260 euros and can reach 624 euros, depending on the surface area of the accommodation.
To obtain this financial assistance, you must contact a company authorized by the State, the list of which is available by clicking here. Once the estimate has been accepted and the installation carried out, documents must be submitted to the company, which will transfer them to the State. Then, the premium is paid either by transfer or check, or directly deducted from the invoice, or can correspond to a purchase voucher from the professional who carried out the installation.
You should not delay in taking advantage of this aid since the check will no longer be paid from January 1, 2025. There is therefore only until the end of December to benefit from the system and reduce the bill to get started. compliance with the law.
According to estimates made by the Environment and Energy Management Agency (Ademe), installing a connected thermostat can reduce your heating bill by up to 15%. Indeed, thanks to this device, it is possible to define the temperature of the different rooms, in particular according to the hours of presence in the home.
