Ventilation systems play a decisive role when it comes to energy efficiency and living comfort. With a view to the environment and their own energy costs, more and more people in Germany are focussing on investing in a modern ventilation system. However, the question of financing often arises. This is precisely where the Kreditanstalt für Wiederaufbau (KfW) comes into play, as it offers attractive funding opportunities for the installation of a ventilation system. In this blog post, you will learn everything you need to know about KfW funding in 2024 and how you can benefit from this financial support. Let’s delve into the world of modern ventilation technology together and discover how the KFW can help you create a healthy indoor climate and save energy at the same time.
1. KfW Efficiency House KfW provides both grants and low-interest loans for comprehensive refurbishments to create a KfW Efficiency House. The amount of the subsidy depends on the efficiency house standard achieved, such as KfW Efficiency House 55, 70 or 85. The higher the energy efficiency, the greater the subsidy. The subsidies can amount to up to 50% of the eligible costs as a grant or up to 120,000 euros as a low-interest loan.
2. Individual measures (funding programme 430) In addition to comprehensive refurbishments, specific individual measures such as the installation of ventilation systems are also subsidised. Here you can receive grants of up to 20% of the eligible costs, up to a maximum of 10,000 euros per residential unit. This subsidy programme is ideal for owners who want to make specific improvements to their property.
3. KfW loan (programme 151/152) KfW offers low-interest loans of up to 50,000 euros per residential unit for individual energy-related measures. In addition, repayment subsidies of up to 20 % can be granted, which further reduces the financial burden. These loans are particularly attractive for larger refurbishment projects that require extensive investment.
Specialist planning and construction supervision: Professional planning and construction supervision by an energy consultant is often required. These costs can also be subsidised.
Verification: Once the measures have been completed, proof must be provided, e.g. in the form of invoices and confirmation from the company carrying out the work that it has been carried out professionally.
As a rule, the application for funding must be submitted before the measures begin. The application is submitted via the house bank or directly to KfW (depending on the programme).
Finally, it is advisable to obtain detailed information about the requirements and conditions for funding ventilation systems from the KfW before starting the project to ensure that all requirements are met and that nothing stands in the way of successful funding.
To make the best possible use of the KFW subsidy for your ventilation system, it is important to consider a few aspects.
1. inform yourself at an early stage: Before you start planning your ventilation system, find out in detail about the current KFW subsidy options. This will allow you to include the conditions for the subsidy in your planning right from the start.
2. focus on energy efficiency: The KFW emphasises energy-efficient solutions. Therefore, make sure that your ventilation system meets the required energy standards in order to receive the maximum subsidy.
3. professional installation: Have your ventilation system installed by qualified specialists. Professional installation is not only important for the system to function optimally, but also for the subsidy to be recognised.
4. documentation and evidence: Keep careful records of all relevant documentation, such as invoices, orders and audit reports. These documents are necessary in order to apply for and receive the subsidy.
5. regular maintenance: Regular maintenance of your ventilation system is not only important for the service life of the system, but also for receiving the subsidy. You should therefore adhere to all maintenance intervals.
6. seek advice: If you have any questions about the KFW subsidy or the optimum design of your ventilation system, you can contact experts such as Ventomaxx at any time. Professional advice can help you to understand all the details of the subsidy and make the best use of it.
When installing a ventilation system with state funding from KfW as part of a comprehensive refurbishment to create an efficiency house, homeowners receive subsidies. Ventilation systems ensure efficient ventilation in buildings.
Further information on current subsidies for ventilation systems from BAFA and KfW can be found here. Due to the German government’s budget freeze, there have been a number of changes, which you can find out about on this page.

In 2024, KfW is offering comprehensive promotional opportunities for the installation of ventilation systems aimed at improving the energy efficiency of buildings. The combination of grants and low-interest loans significantly reduces the financial outlay for builders and owners. In order to receive the maximum subsidy, it is important to observe the specific requirements and conditions of KfW and to plan the measures carefully. Take advantage of KfW’s funding opportunities to make your building project energy-efficient and future-proof.
