The state capital of Mainz supports you with a graduated consultation program for energy-efficient building renovation. In cooperation with the Rhineland-Palatinate Consumer Advice Center and the Mainz Foundation for Climate Protection, you can receive free or low-cost initial consultations.

Free or low-cost initial consultations by the Rhineland-Palatinate Consumer Advice Center

The state capital of Mainz, in cooperation with the Rhineland-Palatinate Consumer Advice Center and the Mainz Foundation for Climate Protection and Energy Efficiency, offers all citizens a tiered advisory program for all questions relating to "energy-efficient building renovation."

This offer is supplemented by subsidies from the Mainz Foundation, which are aimed at all Mainz residents interested in renovation. As a first step, the Parks and Environment Department recommends that all interested parties first clarify their questions during an initial consultation at the Umweltladen (environmental store) with an energy consultant from the Consumer Advice Center. To make an appointment

, please contact the Umweltladen or the Rhineland-Palatinate Consumer Advice Center directly using the following contact details:

  • Phone numbers: (06131) 122121 or 0800 60 75 600 (toll-free)
  • Email: energievz-rlpde

If appropriate, it is also possible to receive advice from a consumer advice center advisor at your home. Home consultations usually cost €40

Please understand that home consultations are not always possible and that it is sometimes more appropriate to discuss your questions at the Consumer Advice Center or the Environmental Center.


Energy efficiency experts

Depending on the measures planned, energy-efficient building renovations can involve high financial costs. To offset these costs, there are various federal, state, and local government subsidy programs that you can take advantage of.

In many cases, it also makes sense to draw up an individual renovation roadmap for your renovation project.

If you would like to take advantage of subsidy programs or have an individual renovation roadmap drawn up, seek independent advice and support from energy efficiency experts. You can easily find them in the list of energy efficiency experts.

We recommend that you contact several energy efficiency experts, describe your project, and obtain several quotes. The prices charged by energy efficiency experts vary depending on the project, as the scope and complexity of the consulting services can vary greatly.
