Price of a VMC in Belgium
Summary

    The installation of a controlled mechanical ventilation system is an effective solution to improve the air quality in your home while optimizing your energy expenses. This system allows for the evacuation of stale air, limits humidity, and ensures a constant renewal of indoor air. Installed by a building professional such as Avenir Rénovations Belgium, this intervention represents a certain investment. Discover in this renovation guide the price of a VMC in Belgium and the available aids to reduce the cost.

    Consider the labor cost for the installation of a VMC

    In addition to the cost of the equipment (single flow, humidity-controlled, double flow...), you must also consider the labor cost charged by Belgian craftsmen. This varies depending on the type of system chosen, the complexity of the project, and the structure of the housing.

    The cost of installing a single flow VMC is generally lower than that of a double flow model, which is more technical to install. Additional work, such as the installation of ducts or wall drilling, can also increase the bill.

    For this type of installation, you can call on a heating engineer, a plumber, an electrician, or a general renovation company such as Avenir Rénovations Belgium. Our certified technicians guarantee you a careful implementation, compliant with PEB standards, with an excellent quality-price ratio.

    VMC Installation: benefit from grants and assistance in Belgium

    Implementing controlled mechanical ventilation is essential to preserve health and comfort within your home. By improving air renewal, a CMV also contributes to the energy performance of the building. Aware of these issues, Belgium offers various aid mechanisms and regional grants to reduce the cost of renovations.

    The regional energy grant

    Each region of the country (Wallonia, Brussels-Capital, Flanders) has its own energy grants for efficient ventilation installations. In Wallonia, for example, assistance may be granted for the installation of a double-flow CMV with heat recovery as part of a comprehensive energy renovation. The amount of the grant depends on the household income and the performance of the installed system.

    For a double-flow CMV, the grant can reach up to €2,500 for low-income households. Contact our Avenir Rénovations Belgium team to check your eligibility and prepare your application file.

    The reduced-rate loan “Rénopack” in Wallonia

    The Rénopack allows you to finance your energy improvement works, including the installation of a CMV. This reduced-rate loan can reach €60,000, with no application fees, and can be repaid over a period of up to 30 years. It is intended for owner-occupiers who wish to improve the energy performance of their home while maintaining a controlled budget.

    The “Rénolution” grant in Brussels

    In the Brussels-Capital Region, the Rénolution scheme brings together several aids aimed at supporting the energy renovation of buildings. The installation of a double-flow CMV is eligible, provided that the system meets certain technical requirements (heat recovery efficiency, noise level, fan efficiency…).

    The amount of the grant varies between 20% and 50% of the total cost of the works, depending on the household income and the nature of the building.

    VAT reductions on renovation works

    In Belgium, renovation works carried out in a home over 10 years old benefit from a reduced VAT rate of 6% instead of 21%. This applies to the supply and installation of a CMV if the conditions of age and use of the building are met. This tax reduction significantly lowers the final price of the installation.

    Municipal and provincial aids

    Some Belgian municipalities and provinces also provide complementary subsidies to encourage the energy renovation of homes. These aids can take the form of an energy voucher, a complementary grant, or a bonus depending on the type of work done and the performance achieved. The amount varies by region and municipality. It is therefore advisable to inquire locally before starting the process.

    Price of a VMC in Belgium: maintenance and upkeep

    The cost of maintaining a ventilation system depends on the installed model, its power, and the configuration of the home. Each system requires regular checks to maintain optimal operation and avoid efficiency losses.

    For a single-flow VMC, expect to pay between 100 and 150 € for a complete maintenance, including cleaning the extraction vents, dusting the ducts, and checking the motor.

    For a double-flow VMC, which is more sophisticated, the annual maintenance cost ranges from 150 to 300 €. This operation includes notably the replacement of filters, cleaning of the heat exchanger, and adjusting the air flow. At Avenir Rénovations Belgium, we offer custom maintenance contracts to extend the lifespan of your equipment and ensure consistent air quality.
