How to Claim the ELY-Keskus â¬4,000 Heat Pump Grant in 2026
Published: Jan 2026 | Updated: Aug 2026 | 5 min read
â¡ TL;DR Key Facts:
- Grant Amount: â¬4,000 flat rate for switching from oil to heat pumps/geothermal; â¬2,500 for other systems.
- Eligible Property: Year-round residential detached houses (omakotitalo) in Finland.
- Application Portal: Submitted online via the EAKR / regional ELY-keskus e-service before or during installation.
Step 1: Verify Your Eligibility
To qualify for the â¬4,000 grant administered by ELY-keskus (Elinkeino-, liikenne- ja ympÀristökeskus), your property must be a year-round detached home in Finland where the primary fossil oil heating system is entirely decommissioned.
Step 2: Choose Between ELY Grant & KotitalousvÀhennys
Under Finnish tax rules, you cannot claim both the ELY-keskus grant and the KotitalousvÀhennys tax deduction for the exact same installation project.
Pro Tip: For single homeowners, the â¬4,000 ELY grant is usually better. For couples with high labor costs (over â¬7,500 in labor), KotitalousvÀhennys (â¬4,500 combined deduction) yields higher savings!
