Clean Air Program

The Clean Air Program is a nationwide initiative aimed at improving air quality in Poland and increasing energy efficiency in single-family homes. Through financial support for building thermal modernization and the replacement of heating systems with more environmentally friendly options, the program enables homeowners to reduce heating costs and minimize harmful emissions into the atmosphere. This initiative is part of Poland’s broader environmental protection efforts and aims to combat smog, which remains a significant issue in many cities and regions across the country.

Goals and Mission of the Clean Air Program

The Clean Air Program was created in response to the urgent need to improve air quality in Poland, particularly to combat smog and reduce pollution from household heating systems. Many households in Poland still rely on outdated, inefficient coal and wood stoves, which contribute to air pollution. Through the program, it’s possible to:

Reduce particulate and pollutant emissions – replacing outdated heating sources with eco-friendly systems significantly lowers the emissions of particulates, nitrogen oxides, sulfur, and other air pollutants.
Save energy and lower heating costs – thermal modernization measures, such as building insulation and heating system upgrades, reduce energy use, which in turn lowers heating bills.
Enhance thermal comfort – building upgrades help maintain a comfortable indoor temperature during winter, providing a higher standard of living for residents.
Achieve long-term environmental impact – promoting energy efficiency and renewable energy sources in buildings is a critical step toward sustainable development.

Scope of Activities and Types of Support within the Clean Air Program

The Clean Air Program offers comprehensive support for single-family homeowners, covering various activities aimed at increasing building energy efficiency. Beneficiaries can apply for funding for the following activities:

Thermal Modernization of Buildings
Thermal modernization is a key part of the program, enabling significant reductions in heat loss. Eligible activities for funding include:
- Insulation of external walls, roofs, and floors – using high-quality insulation to reduce energy loss, which translates into lower heating costs.
- Replacement of windows and doors – old, inefficient windows and doors can cause substantial heat loss. Program funding enables replacement with modern, energy-efficient options.
- Modernization of heating and ventilation systems – funding covers the installation of modern systems such as heat recovery ventilation, which allows heat recovery from exhaust air.
Heating System Replacement
Replacing old, high-emission boilers and stoves with more environmentally friendly heating systems is one of the program’s primary goals. Available funding covers:
- Condensing gas boilers – modern, efficient heating solutions that emit significantly fewer pollutants.
- Heat pumps – eco-friendly and energy-efficient systems that use renewable energy for building heating.
- Biomass boilers – devices that burn biomass, a renewable energy source, with low pollutant emissions.
- Hybrid systems – systems that combine different energy sources, such as heat pumps and gas boilers, optimizing energy use based on weather conditions.
Support for Renewable Energy Installations
Beneficiaries may also obtain funding for installations that harness renewable energy, contributing to building energy self-sufficiency. These include:
- Photovoltaic installations – solar panels that generate electricity for the building, reducing reliance on grid energy.
- Solar collectors – systems for heating domestic hot water, lowering energy costs associated with water heating.

Funding Levels and Conditions

The Clean Air Program offers various levels of financial support based on the applicant’s income and the scope of planned work. Maximum funding can reach PLN 136,200 for comprehensive thermal modernization and heating system replacement. Funding amounts are tailored to each project and may be increased for individuals with lower incomes. The program also includes the option of preferential loans to support project implementation.

Who Can Benefit from the Clean Air Program?

The program is intended for owners or co-owners of single-family buildings, as well as individuals who own part of a building used as an independent residential unit. The Clean Air Program aims to broadly support homeowners seeking to modernize their homes to increase energy efficiency and reduce environmental impact.

Benefits of Participating in the Clean Air Program

Lower heating costs – investing in energy-efficient solutions reduces energy consumption, thereby lowering heating expenses.
Improved air quality – reducing harmful emissions directly impacts air quality, benefiting not only homeowners but also local communities.
Increased property value – homes with modern, energy-efficient solutions are more attractive in the real estate market.
Enhanced quality of life – thermal modernization and heating system replacement translate into better thermal comfort and healthier living conditions.
