When does BAFA pay out the funding (air-water heat pump in new construction)?

Hello dear forum members,

I have now tried various search phrases (both on Google and here) and actually did not find anything. The BAFA pages also do not provide any information about this. Maybe I am just too dumb. So I want to know, assuming the application was approved, when exactly does the BAFA funding for an air-to-water heat pump in a new building flow from a cash flow perspective. In other words, when will I have the funding in my account? After commissioning? After installation and start-up? After passing the quality check one year later?

I didn't find it...

Thanks and regards

After commissioning, submission of the specialist contractor reports, payment - and the processing time of the BAFA.

cool, thanks for the answer!

I spoke yesterday with the company that is doing our geothermal drilling. He said for him it was about six weeks later. have you already received your subsidy or do you know that for sure?

Well, that is just the procedure as it is presented when applying. Unfortunately, we are still waiting for our notice. The processing time is now apparently several months.

Bitter, well at least unlike some other funding, you can start immediately after applying. When did you submit the application? We want to apply for two more funding programs through progresNRW. There you are only allowed to start after approval. That can probably take about 10 weeks, but it fits into the schedule. All in all, you should probably plan better to implement without funding anyway. My dad always said: Never plan with money you don’t have.
