Furthermore, the installation of the thermostat must be carried out by a professional, and not just any professional. For you to be eligible for assistance, you will need to call on a signatory of the charter “A helping hand Connected heating control room by room”.
Finally, be aware that not all accommodations can benefit from this assistance. Those whose construction dates back less than two years unfortunately will not be able to access it. If all the criteria are met, let's now find out how to apply.
