Wekerle+ · updated: 2026-10-21
According to the Hungarian government's announcement of 20 October 2026, the Wekerle+ energy renovation grant and loan will start in 2027. This is an announcement: there is no decree yet, and the detailed rules are not known. What is useful regardless of the details – a survey of the house and a renovation plan with the expected saving – we can prepare for you now.
The announcement in numbers
Up to 50% of the loan
According to the government's announcement, in proportion to the energy saving achieved; calculated from the HUF 15 million loan, up to HUF 7.5 million. The 30–50% range, with houses in worse condition receiving more, has only been reported by the press.
Up to HUF 15 million, fixed 3%
According to the announcement, the previous limit of HUF 6 million for the renovation loan rises to HUF 15 million.
≥ 30% energy saving?
According to Telex, it was said verbally that at least 30% saving will be required; this is not in the government's announcement. Either way the grant depends on the saving, which is why it matters which works are carried out and in what order.
According to the announcement, insulation, window and door replacement and full heating upgrades – exactly the works we specialise in.
According to the announcement, it will be available in every town and village in Hungary, with no requirement to be married or to have children, and single people can apply too. The detailed eligibility rules are not yet known.
The government expects to fund the renovation of roughly 20,000 households a year, with around HUF 40 billion in grants. The budget is limited, so it is worth preparing in good time.
Source: the government's announcement (kormany.hu, 20 October 2026); the 30% threshold and the 30–50% range: Telex, 19 October 2026. There is no decree yet and the figures may change; always check the official call before applying.
As soon as these are published, we will update this page and notify our subscribers.
If you are counting on the grant, wait with signing a contract and starting work until the conditions are published: in earlier programmes, work already started was typically not eligible for support.
However, it is worth having the survey and the plan done now: when the programme opens, you will not have to wait weeks for a free surveyor, and you will know what the renovation costs and how much you can save with it.
Wekerle+ preparation
We survey the current condition of the house – walls, ceiling, windows and doors, heating – with measurements and photos. This shows the starting point.
We plan which works, in what order, achieve the greatest saving – taking into account the 30% mentioned in the press – with the best possible cost-benefit ratio.
The plan is turned into an itemised quote. With it you will know how much of your own contribution, grant and loan you may need.
As soon as the rules are published, we compare the plan with the conditions and put together the document pack needed for the application. Eligibility is decided by the organisation running the programme.
Houses in poor energy condition are where the most can be saved, and according to press reports they could also receive a higher grant rate. Family houses built in the 1960s–80s are our speciality.
Wekerle+ paperwork · free with your renovation
With grants, what most people dread is not the renovation but the paperwork. If we carry out the work, we put together the document pack needed for the application and guide you through the process – at no extra charge.
The exact list of documents depends on the final rules. You submit the application yourself (or someone acting on your behalf with a power of attorney), and eligibility is decided by the organisation running the programme.
We are not an official partner or representative of the Wekerle+ programme, and we do not promise any grant amount. This page is for information only and does not replace the official programme call.
Leave your contact details and we will let you know as soon as the conditions are final. You can mention in the message if you would also like a preliminary survey.
We will notify you as soon as the programme conditions are final. If you also asked for a preliminary survey, we will be in touch shortly.
According to the announcement, in 2027. There is no decree yet, and the exact date and the application method have not been announced. We will let subscribers know as soon as they are.
According to the government's announcement, the non-repayable grant is “up to 50% of the loan, in proportion to the energy saving achieved” – calculated from the HUF 15 million loan, up to HUF 7.5 million. The 30–50% range has only been reported by the press. How much it is in your case will be determined by the final rules and the decision of the organisation running the programme – we do not know this and do not promise it in advance.
The 30% threshold is so far only a press report. As a first indication, the calculator shows an estimated saving range and tells you whether it reaches 30%. A reliable answer comes from the on-site survey and the plan based on it.
Rarely. In an average uninsulated family house, replacing the windows alone typically saves 5–15%. 30% is usually reached by combining several works, for example together with ceiling and wall insulation.
This is not yet known. István Kapitány's post of 21 October 2026 about a programme under discussion also mentions flats, but whether it is part of Wekerle+ is unclear. In a block of flats, the façade and the ceiling are a joint decision of the owners, so the renovation process is different too. Sign up and we will let you know when it becomes clear.
If we carry out the renovation, we put together the document pack needed for the application and help you fill it in – at no extra charge. You submit the application yourself, and eligibility is decided by the organisation running the programme. The energy performance certificate is produced by a partner energy assessor; we state its fee in our quote.
No. The survey and the plan are useful on their own: with or without a grant, you will know what is worth doing and what it will cost.
