Renovating your property

Looking to renovate your property? We’ll support you every step of the way, including when it comes to getting the right financing.

Heat better, spend less

Do you still have fossil-fuel or electric heating?
It’s time to upgrade! Thanks to the sustainable heating program Chauffez Renouvelable, you can get a free consultation funded by SuisseEnergie. Get non-binding expert advice to find the best sustainable heating system for your circumstances.

Get an energy audit of your property

Unlike a standard CECB® audit, which only includes an energy assessment of your property, a CECB® Plus audit includes up to five personalized recommendations to optimize your renovation project.

Thanks to BCV, you can get a discount of CHF 250 on your CECB® Plus audit in addition to the cantonal subsidy. To take advantage of our offer, simply choose an approved auditor on the CECB® website, ask for a quote, and have the audit carried out.

Check out our guide to energy-efficient renovations (in French only) to find out everything you need to know before you get started.

Get information about subsidies

Subsidies can cover up to 30% of the cost of comprehensive renovations.* They concern mainly roof and wall insulation, the installation of solar panels, and the replacement of heating systems. These subsidies are part of the federal and cantonal buildings program, which promotes sustainable solutions to reduce energy use and CO2 emissions.

Green bonus

Get attractive financing

To help you do your bit for the environment, BCV is offering 12 months of zero interest* on financing for:

  • thermal insulation
  • replacing a fossil-fuel heating system with a heat pump
  • installing or replacing wood-burning heating
  • installing solar panels
  • installing solar thermal collectors
  • upgrading windows
  • renovations with the submission of a CECB® certificate

*Valid for a fixed-rate mortgage loan or a Building Plus loan with a term of at least five years. At least 25% of the total loan amount (minimum CHF 20,000) must be used for energy-saving improvements eligible for federal, cantonal, and communal subsidies. This promotion cannot be combined with any other special offer for mortgage loans.

Carry out the renovations

Once you have the building permit or authorization for renovation work and your subsidies have been approved, you can hire a general contractor and start the work. When it’s completed, you will need to inform the Vaud Environmental Board (Direction générale de l’environnement, or DGE) by submitting the necessary form (Avis d’achèvement). This final step makes the end of the project official and means your subsidies can be paid.

Your architect or general contractor can help you submit this form.

Important: Do not start the renovation work before receiving written confirmation that your subsidies have been approved. Work that has already started, or is already finished, is not eligible for subsidies.
