MaPrimeRénov’ pink: the grants left for a heat pump

Setting: 3 people and €90,000 reference tax income, the pink band. The calculator therefore shows the out-of-pocket cost with the CEE bonus alone.

Above the purple ceiling (€55,196 for three people outside Île-de-France, €71,846 in Île-de-France), a household is classed pink. In 2026 a pink household’s per-item MaPrimeRénov’ flat rate is zero for a heat pump, air-to-water or ground-source. Three grants remain. The CEE bonus, with the Coup de pouce if the heat pump replaces a gas, oil or coal boiler: €4,810 for a 100 m² house in the Rhône, at the registry average price. VAT at 5.5 % instead of 20 %, in a home over two years old. And the zero-rate eco-loan, with no income condition, up to €15,000 for a single item. If the heat pump is part of a renovation gaining at least two energy-rating classes, whole-home MaPrimeRénov’ pays 10 % of the capped cost before VAT. The calculator works out the out-of-pocket cost and payback with your figures.

Grants and out-of-pocket cost for a pink household

Site calculation: 100 m² house in the Rhône (zone H1), gas boiler replaced, 3-person household, reference tax income €90,000, cap applied; hypothetical quotes except the published air-to-water median

Only the CEE bonus appears: MaPrimeRénov’ is zero. The bonus is calculated with the Coup de pouce at the standard price. To check the payback, the calculator compares the current bill with the heat pump’s.

Whole-home renovation: another route

If you also plan to insulate, whole-home MaPrimeRénov’ funds a package of work gaining at least two energy-rating classes, with a mandatory adviser. For a pink household the rate is 10 % of the cost before VAT, up to €30,000 for two classes gained and €40,000 for three. Details are on the whole-home renovation page.

Funding the rest

The zero-rate eco-loan spreads the cost over 15 years at most, interest-free, whatever your colour.

Frequently asked questions

Does a pink household qualify for the Coup de pouce Chauffage?

Yes, the Coup de pouce has no income condition. It requires a main residence, an individual coal, oil or gas boiler replaced, a heat pump model approved since 1 September 2026, and an offer accepted before signing the quote. The certificates are bought at the standard price.

Why is the pink flat rate zero?

The per-item MaPrimeRénov’ scale has reserved flat rates for blue, yellow and purple households in 2026. Higher-income households keep access to whole-home MaPrimeRénov’, at a lower rate, and to grants with no income condition such as the CEE bonus, reduced VAT and the eco-loan.

Does a heat pump pay off without MaPrimeRénov’?

It depends mostly on the energy replaced and the climate. Replacing oil or direct electric heating in a cold département, the yearly saving is large and payback reasonable. Replacing gas in a mild climate, payback can exceed the unit’s lifetime. The payback page and the calculator do the sums with your département.
