Emmanuelle Wargon, Minister of Housing, ensures that the funding of MaPrimeRénov ', launched in 2020 to help the most modest households to renovate their homes and extended to all French people in 2021, will be provided despite the enthusiasm generated by the device.
Three months after the expansion of MaPrimeRénov 'to more affluent households, what is the result?
EMMANUELLE WARGON.
He is extremely positive.
Since January 1, 2021, 221,000 applications have been submitted, compared to the 200,000 applications recorded over the whole of 2020. At this rate, and while MaPrimeRénov 'is not yet open to landlords and landlords, we should finish l he year with 800,000 files filed, ie double the target set.
These are files submitted and not accepted ...
More than two thirds were accepted.
The rest correspond to files under investigation or for which documents are missing.
6% to 7% of applications are refused because the work requested by households is not eligible.
On average, the premiums are 2,715 euros and can cover 90% of the work for the most modest.

Will all requests be funded?
MaPrimeRénov 'will be funded according to needs.
Everyone who applies for it and is eligible will get it.
Bruno Le Maire (
Editor's note: the Minister of the Economy
), with whom we are in discussion, knows its importance.
This is one of the general public measures of the recovery plan.
For 2021, we have a budget of 1.6 billion euros and we have consumed 400 million euros.
MaPrimeRénov 'will not be the budgetary victim of its own success.
By extending this bonus to the better-off, is it still meeting its objectives?
In 2021, 38% of the applications submitted were by very modest households and 21% by modest households against 36% from intermediate families and 5% well-off.
It is proof by reality that the less wealthy families can do renovation work.
Our system is an incentive for everyone.
Of course, we can make it better.
The Climate and Resilience law under discussion provides that all outstanding charges can be financed by an “advance renovation” loan, guaranteed by the State.
And this loan will be repaid only when the property is sold.
To eradicate thermal strainers, renovation professionals believe that it is necessary to encourage fundamental renovations and not just by small touches ...
You should know that a renovation with MaPrimeRénov ', which is better targeted, triggers twice as much energy savings as work carried out with the old tax credit.
In addition, the Climate and Resilience law will prohibit the rental of thermal strainers.
The owners will therefore have to do some work.
And, from January 1, 2023, it will make the support of owners compulsory, as soon as a certain amount of assisted work is exceeded.
We are consulting on this amount, which will be determined by decree.
This will make it possible to carry out work packages.
Many individuals and professionals complain about payment delays and bugs ...
Our teams have been strengthened.
Payment deadlines are fifteen days when the files are complete.
And we have 3% of bugs, against 5% in 2020. Our goal is to go below 3%.
We have created a dedicated team to solve somewhat complicated cases.
Renovation aid is often the target of fraudsters ...
We have made a lot of progress.
First, by imposing the RGE label (
Editor's note: Recognized guarantor of the environment
) on all the companies concerned.
Then, we carry out checks on documents, but also on site.
Between 7% and 10% of the sites are checked.
