I did not have to submit proof that I paid the invoice. The invoice from the heating installer is sufficient.
Of course, it doesn't happen that quickly.
First, you submit an application for the funding. Then you receive a confirmation from the office that the funding will be approved if you upload the corresponding proofs online.
The confirmation also includes your online access data for the uploads.
I uploaded the proofs about 1.5 weeks ago and received the confirmation of the funding on Saturday, which will be transferred to my account within the next two weeks.
