Looking for a subsidy for infrared heating in 2026? Distinguish between a subsidy, tax deduction and a loan. These types of support have different conditions. Buying a panel does not in itself entitle you to financial support.
Can Private Individuals Receive ISDE for Infrared Panels?
Ordinary electric infrared panels are not a separately subsidisable measure under the national ISDE. For homeowners, the scheme lists measures including insulation, heat pumps and solar water heaters, with conditions for each measure. Combining measures does not automatically make the purchase of panels eligible for a subsidy.
Therefore, do not budget for national support for standalone panels without an applicable scheme and confirmed conditions. A sustainability loan is financing that must be repaid and is not a subsidy.
How Do You Check a Local Scheme?
Municipalities and provinces may offer their own schemes. Check with the administrator whether the applicant, building and this specific product fall within the scheme. Also check the budget, application period and when you may enter into commitments. A scheme in another municipality does not prove your project is eligible.
If unsure, ask in writing whether a quote or order affects the application. We can supply product specifications but do not award subsidies.
What Can the EIA Mean for a Business?
The Energy Investment Allowance is a tax scheme for qualifying business investments. The Energy List 2026 lists infrared panels under code 270103 for local heating of indoor spaces with an average height exceeding 4 metres. Infrared films, infrared mats and infrared lamps are not covered by this code.
This scope matters: panels for an ordinary office or home do not automatically meet that description. Have an adviser or RVO assess the specific investment and application conditions. A tax deduction percentage is also not the same percentage paid out as a subsidy.
Assess the Investment Without Support Too
Include product costs, controls, mounting, electrical installation modifications and expected use. A low purchase price says little about annual costs. With an electric resistance panel, electricity consumption relates to power and operating time; heat demand determines how much heating is needed.
Compare solutions for the same usage situation. Temporarily providing supplementary heating at a local workstation requires a different assessment from continuously maintaining a whole building at temperature.
What Information Should You Gather in Advance?
- Address, building function and the applicant’s role.
- Description of the heated zone, average height and operating times.
- Model, power, controls and technical documentation.
- Itemised quote covering materials and work.
- The administrator’s current conditions and application deadlines.
Before ordering, establish which evidence and deadlines apply to your application. We do not promise a fixed benefit or automatic approval.
