Get up to 25% off on new energy efficient household appliances and air conditioning in Andalucia – and on new windows too!
In order to qualify for these grants, first of all you have to live in Andalucia, as this campaign is regional not national. Secondly the item you buy must be classed as Energy Efficient Class A or above (A+, A++, A+++) and lastly you can’t have received this grant for the same item previously. So, if you already received it for a dishwasher but now you want to buy an oven then you’re OK.
Content Here Then you have to find a distributor that is officially certified to apply the grant –just put in the town where you live on thislink to get a full list. Once you’ve visited the store and chosen the item you want, you’ll have to produce your identification (NIE number) and the store will fill out the forms required for the grant and give you a copy. You’ll then be charged the price less the amount of the grant and when your new goods are delivered the distributor will remove the old ones and these will be taken to a recycling centre.
As an example of the amount of grant available (full list is available here), the maximum amount of the grant is 25% with a limit in euros depending on the energy rating as follows:
- Fridges, freezers, washing machines, diswashers
85€/105€ for A / A+ rated items
125€ for A++
145€ for A+++
- For induction hobs and ovens: 85€
- For air conditioning (not portable): 400€
However, you’ll also need to take into account the savings you’ll enjoy over the lifetime of the new goods due to their efficiency – with estimates of a saving of over 500€ over the lifetime for a new washing machine.

Additionally there is another grant available if you install new windows in order to save energy. Both the frames and the glass have to be changed and the grants won’t cover balconies or similar areas that expand the square metre living space. Minimum cost of the new windows must be 1000€ and once again the grant is limited to 25% of the cost. The maximum amounts in euros depend on the window sizes. Grants will be applied directly on the cost charged by the company A pdf leaflet is available here that has full details on the grants and how it works. You can also see in the leaflet the euro grant depending on the window size to see how much you could get in total.
