Heat Pump Grant Scheme - Apply for a grant for your new heat pump

If you are considering replacing your oil or gas boiler with a new heat pump, you may be eligible for a government grant through the Danish Heat Pump Grant Scheme.

The Heat Pump Grant Scheme is open, and you can apply for a grant of up to DKK 27,000, subject to available funding.

Please note that you must not have started the installation or entered into a binding agreement before submitting your application.

What is the Heat Pump Grant Scheme?

The Heat Pump Grant Scheme is administered by the Danish Energy Agency and is a continuation of the former Building Renovation Grant Scheme, which was introduced in 2020.

Funding has been allocated for the scheme in 2026. Any future funding will depend on political decisions.

In 2026, you can apply for a grant of up to DKK 27,000 towards the installation of a new heat pump.

Grants are available for the following types of heat pumps:

  • Air-to-water heat pumps
  • Ground-source heat pumps (brine-to-water)

The grant for air-to-water heat pumps has been increased in 2026, meaning both eligible heat pump types now qualify for the same grant amount.

The Heat Pump Grant Scheme remains open while funding is available. During the summer of 2026, the Danish Government allocated an additional DKK 200 million to the scheme, allowing more homeowners to apply. The latest information is available at SparEnergi.dk.

Why switch to a heat pump? 

Replacing your existing heating system with a heat pump is an effective way to improve your home's energy efficiency and reduce heating costs.

Some of the benefits include:

  • Lower heating costs
  • A valuable investment if you decide to sell your home in the future
  • Reduced CO₂ emissions
  • Low maintenance requirements

Who is eligible? 

To apply for a grant, you must meet all of the following requirements:

Requirement 1: Your property must be a permanently occupied owner-occupied home.
Requirement 2: Your home must currently be heated by an oil boiler, gas boiler, electric heating or a biomass boiler (such as a wood pellet boiler).
Requirement 3: Your property must not be located in an area supplied with district heating or where district heating is planned.
Requirement 4: You must not have started replacing your heating system or entered into a binding agreement before applying.
Requirement 5: You intend to install either an air-to-water heat pump or a ground-source heat pump (brine-to-water).
