ᐅ When does BAFA pay out the subsidy for air-to-water heat pumps in new construction?

Hello dear forum members,

I have tried various search phrases (both on Google and here) and haven’t been able to find any information. The BAFA website doesn’t provide any details either. Maybe I’m just overlooking something.

So, I would like to know, assuming the application is approved, exactly when the BAFA grant for an air-to-water heat pump in a new building is paid out in terms of cash flow. When will the funding actually be credited to my account?
After commissioning the contract?
After installation and startup?
After passing the quality check one year later?

I couldn’t find this information anywhere...

Thanks and best regards

After commissioning, submission of the specialist contractor reports, payment, and the processing time by BAFA.

Cool, thanks for the reply!

I spoke yesterday with the company handling our ground probe drilling. They said it took about six weeks later on their end.
@Fuchur Have you already received your subsidy, or do you know exactly when that happens?

Well, this is basically the process as it is described during the application. Unfortunately, we are still waiting for our approval. The processing time now seems to be several months.

Bitter, but at least unlike some other subsidies, you can start work immediately after applying. When did you submit your application?
We want to apply for two more subsidies through progresNRW. There, work can only begin after approval. That process may take about 10 weeks, which fits our schedule.
Overall, it’s probably better to plan the project assuming no funding will come through.
