Exceptions now include properties acquired through adverse possession or by owners who have held at least a 50% share for at least one year, acquired via purchase or inheritance from parents or grandparents.<\/p>\n<h4>Increased Funding for Thermal Upgrades<\/h4>\n<p>The National Fund for Environmental Protection and Water Management is raising maximum unit grant amounts by 10% for specific investments. This adjustment, intended to offset rising construction and material costs, increases support for wall insulation to 275 PLN per square meter and window joinery to 1320 PLN per square meter.<\/p>\n<h4>Extended Deadlines and Simplified Documentation<\/h4>\n<p>The deadline for completing works under the pre-financing scheme has been extended from 120 to 180 days, applicable also to beneficiaries who signed agreements after March 31, 2025, via an annex. Additionally, documentation confirming completed works can now be issued by individuals with appropriate building qualifications, not just chimney sweeps.<\/p>\n<h4>Future Limitations on Heating Subsidies<\/h4>\n<p>Regulations for heating sources are set to change significantly in 2027. Subsidies for the purchase and installation of electric heating systems, excluding heat pumps, will only be classified as eligible expenses until the end of 2026.<\/p>\n<h4>Program Performance and Scope<\/h4>\n<p>Since its inception in 2018, the Clean Air program has signed approximately 971,000 subsidy agreements and facilitated the replacement of over 603,000 inefficient heating sources. The current edition operates with a 10 billion PLN budget funded by the Modernization Fund.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Starting July 20, the Clean Air program introduces critical changes, including relaxed homeownership requirements, a 10% increase in thermal insulation subsidies, and extended deadlines for investment completion to streamline the process.
