Greece invests over 21 million euros to upgrade household water heaters

The Ministry of Environment and Energy in Greece approved funding for 6,000 more households to replace old water heaters through the I Change Water Heater program.

This initiative provides over 21.5 million euros in additional public money to help residents reduce the energy needed to heat water. The program encourages people to switch to more efficient systems, such as heat pump water heaters. These systems lower operating costs by transferring heat from external sources rather than relying solely on electricity.

Participants can track their application status on a digital platform and choose from a list of approved suppliers and products. The addition of these new approvals brings the total number of successful applications for the program to over 146,000. This effort aims to lower household utility bills while decreasing the environmental impact of domestic water heating.
