Preparing for “Exoikonomo”
5 Critical Points to Check Before Submitting Your “Exoikonomo” Application
Many property owners in Giannitsa and the surrounding areas view “Exoikonomo” as a simple application process. In reality, however, poor preparation can lead to rejection or, even worse, the loss of thousands of euros in subsidies.
What to Pay Attention To:
Property Legality:
This is the first and most important requirement. Any unauthorized constructions must be legalized before issuing the First Energy Performance Certificate (EPC).
Consistency of Property Data:
The E9 form, electricity bill (DEI), and property deeds must match exactly in square meters. Even a small discrepancy can block the system.
Proper Prioritization of Works:
Don’t start with secondary upgrades. Roof insulation or replacing an old boiler with a heat pump provides the greatest energy efficiency improvement.
Actual Cost vs. Subsidy:
The subsidy covers a significant portion, but a proper budget prepared by an engineer is essential so you know exactly your own financial contribution.
Choosing the Right Engineering Consultant:
The engineer is not only responsible for the EPC. They are the professional who manages the platform process and ensures you receive your subsidy in the end.
