How to benefit from ANAH aid?

To improve thermal comfort at home, many households plan to implement an energy renovation project. However, the majority hesitate after consulting the work estimate.

So that the budget does not become an obstacle, the National Housing Agency or Anah offers you interesting aids.

To clarify things, this article provides you with essential information on the subject. Let’s start by discovering what is meant by Anah.

What exactly does Anah consist of?

Anah or National Housing Agency is a public state organization. The institution acts notably under the authority of the Ministry responsible for housing.

It intervenes for the benefit of thermal renovation of private homes or buildings as well as the fight against energy poverty.

In this context, its mission is to develop the national policy for the improvement and development of housing.

To achieve this objective, the agency offers financial aids to owners wishing to renovate the energy performance of their house.

By the way, if your building has excessive heating or air conditioning consumption and you are struggling to sell it, do not hesitate to read our article: Energy-consuming home: what advice to sell?

What work is covered by Anah in 2026?

As mentioned above, the grant particularly relates to the project of improving and rehabilitating the home, that is, work related to energy renovation. It thus applies to insulation, heating, domestic hot water, and electricity.

The scheme subsidizes two types of projects, namely major works and small home improvement works.

Let’s take the first category, which concerns houses in poor condition. The purpose of the work is to make them compliant with the habitability standards established by French law.

As for the second, it concerns energy renovation of the home including thermal insulation or attic insulation, facade refurbishment, installation of double-glazed windows, and replacement of the heating system.

Whether it is the first or the second type of project, the goal is to make the house energy efficient. Thanks to Anah, there is no need to wonder if you can insulate an exterior wall yourself. The work can be financed by the public organization.

It should be noted that carrying out an energy audit is also covered by Anah’s aids. It is worth mentioning that the issues of the new energy performance diagnosis have been applicable since July 2021.

What are the conditions to benefit from ANAH aids?

Like other funding, there are criteria to meet to be eligible for Anah subsidies. Among the general conditions, the building or apartment concerned must be at least 15 years old. This house must also be your main residence.

Besides that, before submitting the file, the work must not have started yet. The budget allocated to the project must be at least 1,500 euros excluding tax.

It is imperative to entrust it to building companies that are RGE certified or Recognized as Environmentally Responsible.

It should be recalled that the work particularly concerns energy renovation. So if you plan to change the interior or exterior decoration of your house, do not waste your time applying for Anah aids. The same applies for an extension project or new construction.

Besides these details, beneficiaries of the scheme must not have benefited from the zero-interest loan or PTZ in the last 5 years. After the work, they must commit to living in the home for at least 6 years.

What is the difference between my Renov grant and Anah?

When interested in the funding program related to energy renovation, one has likely already heard of Ma Prime Renov and l’Anah. Although these aids are closely linked, there are still differences.

L’Anah is defined as a public institution offering numerous financial aids intended for energy renovation. The agency offers Ma Prime Renov to landlords as well as owner-occupiers.

There are also other schemes such as Ma Prime Renov Sérénité, which is reserved for owners wishing to carry out a bundle of works.

Since the creation of Ma Prime Renov in January 2020, this subsidy was only dedicated to French households with very modest incomes.

But since October 2020, the Anah scheme has been offered to all owners, whether occupants or landlords. The subtlety lies only in the calculation and amount of the grant.

How to put together an Anah file?

There is nothing simpler than preparing this file. To do so, you must start by filling out the application form.

This form is different for a landlord and for an owner-occupier. Once this step is completed, you can prepare the file by attaching the following elements:

If you are the owner of the dwelling, you must provide documents proving this title. For an owner-occupier, they must provide an income tax notice.

If you are, on the other hand, a landlord, remember to include in the file the intermediate rent agreement.

Whatever your role, do not forget to include the technical documents such as the energy assessment before and after the works, the project plans, and the quotes for the works from one or more companies.

Once the file is prepared, you can submit the application to the local delegation of the National Housing Agency or Anah.

Who to contact for Anah aids?

Whether you are a representative of a community or a direct owner, many questions can trouble the mind regarding the scheme.

It is not difficult to get in touch with the National Housing Agency. To do so, many options are available to you.

The easiest and fastest solution is to dial the national number such as: 0 806 703 803. This contact can be reachable from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday to Friday.

For individuals who have already made their application and want to know if they are eligible for aids, they can contact the local reception point of the agency directly.

They also have the possibility to contact local relays by email, phone, or mail. Others prefer to go there in person.

When must ANAH aids be reimbursed?

If your house is renovated using ANAH aids and you plan to sell it afterwards, you must in this case reimburse the funding. The same applies when there is a change in occupancy conditions.

The exact amount depends on many criteria. It is possible that you only pay back part of the aid.

In certain circumstances, you must pay the full amount. In any case, it is advisable to always comply with the conditions to avoid such situations.
