On September 27, more than 50 residents of Genderbeemd, 't Ven, Ooievaarsnest and Hanevoet met in community center 't Slot, to be informed about the possibilities and financing of insulating their homes. We had invited 040energie to provide this presentation. The central issue was: I want to save energy and make my home more sustainable, but I don't really know where to start

A representative of the municipality of Eindhoven was also present. She briefly discussed the vision and policy of the municipality. One of the pillars of that policy is that the municipality wants to encourage its residents to actively save energy. The municipality has opened a (digital) counter for this purpose where residents can find information: www.regionaalenergieloket.nl/eindhoven.

The experts from 040energie discussed the installation and operation of solar panels, the balancing arrangement and how to get a good quote. That's actually very simple. Price, quality and warranty agreements have been made within the existing 040energy network. So when you are thinking about solar panels, you can request a quote without obligation (digitally) via https://040energie.nl/acties/item/31/actie-zonnepanelen. The quotation indicates: the price, the number of panels, the installation plan and the planning. If you still have doubts, you can contact other companies yourself. This way you can make a informed choice..

The same applies to the insulation of the roof, facade, floor and window frames. You can register for this on the website 040energie.nl/acties. However, if you need a general picture of your home, you can contact an energy coach via 040energie. He/she can help you make the right choice.

With regard to financing, we would like to mention the ISDE subsidy. On the page https://www.rvo.nl/subsidies-financiering/isde/woningeigenaren you will find the conditions for subsidizing 1 or more energy-saving measures. It turns out that this scheme is very interesting for private home owners. The payback period of the investment is greatly reduced.

Finally: the attendees were quite pleased, the information was clear, the questions had been answered. It's up to you now. For the sake of completeness, we have placed the presentation given by the municipality of Eindhoven and 040energie on our website, so you can read it again.
