Who can claim the thermomodernization tax relief and how much can it save?
The thermomodernization tax relief allows expenses incurred for the thermomodernization of a single-family home to be deducted from the tax base. It is available to owners or co-owners of a single-family building, including semi-detached and terraced houses.
The relief is claimed in the tax return; however, it is worth knowing what is meant by thermomodernization and expenses incurred for this purpose. Under the regulations, thermomodernization includes improvements that reduce the demand for energy used to heat the building and heat domestic hot water, as well as replacing energy sources with renewable sources. Specific examples of thermomodernization work include insulating a building, replacing and sealing window or door joinery, eliminating thermal bridges, installing a photovoltaic system and replacing a coal-fired boiler with a heat pump.
It is also important to remember that only expenses listed in the relevant regulation of the Minister of Investment and Development of 21 December 2018 may be deducted. They must also relate to a project completed within three consecutive years, counting from the year in which the owner or co-owner of the property incurred the first thermomodernization expense. The deduction may not exceed PLN 53,000; for married couples, the limit is doubled.
The Clean Air program and the My Electricity program can also help you save money
One of the expenses that can be deducted under the thermomodernization tax relief is replacing a heat source with an eco-friendly heat pump, which draws thermal energy from its surroundings and does not require heating fuels. However, it is worth knowing that the relief is not the only solution that can help save money in this case. For example, under the My Electricity program, you can apply for funding for photovoltaic systems and accompanying heat storage units and heat pumps. The Clean Air program works similarly: you can apply for funding to purchase and install a heat pump or increase the level of funding by supplementing the investment with a photovoltaic system that will supply, among other things, the heat pump. For this reason, people considering purchasing and installing a heat pump or wanting to install photovoltaics should check the conditions that must be met to apply for funding.
People considering installing photovoltaics or a heat pump can use the Orange Energia offer—the company's advisers recommend optimal solutions for a given building, the systems are reliable and completely safe, and installation is carried out by professional installation teams.
Orange Energia offers professional advice, design and installation of photovoltaic systems and heat pump systems. It is worth looking at the devices on offer, which are supplied by reputable manufacturers and guarantee the highest quality. Components and mounting systems come exclusively from trusted suppliers.
In addition, Orange Energia offers an installment payment system on favorable terms. The total installation cost can be spread over as many as 120 fixed payments, with no down payment required. This is possible thanks to Orange Energia's cooperation with leading banks specializing in financing investments related to renewable energy sources. All formalities can be completed online without leaving home—efficiently and conveniently—and a positive decision from the bank processing the application is issued almost immediately.
Orange Energia advisers will also be happy to answer questions about investment funding programs and the rules for obtaining the thermomodernization tax relief.
Orange Energia also offers favorable settlement of energy from a photovoltaic system under the Orange Energia Net-billing 1:1 offer. Under this offer, surplus energy produced by the system is fed into the grid and can be collected at any time of day, with exported and consumed energy settled at the same rate. As a result, 100% of the value of the energy produced returns to the customer. Orange Energia guarantees that energy accumulated in the Virtual Energy Storage does not expire after 12 months and can be used throughout the term of the agreement—that is, for four years. The accumulated energy can be collected at any time of day, according to actual demand. Orange Energia therefore guarantees energy from the photovoltaic system to power the heat pump, including in the evenings and winter, helping reduce heating costs to a minimum.
People who are not yet considering installing their own photovoltaic system or changing their heat source but would like to use energy generated entirely from renewable sources—and, at the same time, pay lower bills—can transfer their electricity supply to Orange Energia.
Customers who decide to switch and use the supplier's offer will be guaranteed an attractive price until the end of 2025, regardless of what happens on the energy market or what further decisions are made by those in power.
In addition, attractive benefit packages are available from Orange Energia. The Korzystny 150 Package includes PLN 150 off energy bills, the Faktura 150 Package includes PLN 150 to top up an Orange mobile account, and the 150 Package provides PLN 150 off a smartphone or accessories.
In addition, every package includes a home assistance service, meaning free support from specialists such as an electrician, plumber, locksmith, glazier, roofer, gas and heating equipment technician, and appliance, consumer electronics and computer technician. Under the home assistance insurance, their services can be used five times a year, with each repair valued at up to PLN 1,500; spare parts are also included in the price.
