The right to an inverter air conditioner cannot be realized by households that have used a subsidy for the purchase of an air conditioner or pellet stove in the past 5 years, as well as those that have a connection to a central heating system.
Funds and conditions
For the realization of this measure amount of 170 million denars has been allocated. The funds will be used for the purchase and installation of inverter air conditioners with a power of 3.5 kW and energy class A+, which will be installed directly in the homes of the beneficiaries.
With this program, the Ministry confirms its commitment to improving energy efficiency and reducing energy poverty in the country.
