MyHeating allows you to submit applications for the 2025-2026 heating allowance, which covers oil, natural gas, LPG, firewood, pellets, electricity and thermal energy.
Beneficiaries for the heating allowance are households that meet income and asset criteria, with an additional reduced VAT on 19 remote islands from 2026.

In order to receive the heating allowance, households should know that:
