From this Monday until March 17 -or until funds are exhausted- you can apply for direct aid from the new Plan Renove de Electrodomésticos that has launched the Community of Madrid. This new call is endowed with an amount of more than 2 million euros.
These subsidies – the bases of which can be consulted at this link – are aimed at the purchase of class A, B and C refrigerators, A washing machines, A and B dishwashers and full induction hobs, with the aim of “replacing old appliances with more efficient ones”.
With this new edition, the regional government expects to renew more than 1,500 appliances, achieving energy savings equivalent to “the average consumption of 3,000 families during a year”.
Requirements to apply for the aid
The only requirements to be fulfilled to apply for this aid are:
- That the home where the installation of the new appliance and the removal of the old one takes place is located in a municipality of the Community of Madrid.
- The old appliance must be delivered to an authorized manager for its correct treatment.
