Focus on the stages and organization of your energy renovation work 

Careful planning determines the technical and financial success of your energy renovation project. Each step requires precise coordination between the various RGE professionals working on your project.

Energy audit and performance diagnosis

The energy audit precisely identifies the weak points of your existing home in terms of energy consumption. This comprehensive thermal assessment reveals the priority areas to optimize your investment in renovations. The diagnosis also assesses potential energy savings based on the solutions considered.

Reno systematically combines architectural and energy assessments for a comprehensive approach to your project. This methodology ensures technical consistency between the various planned interventions on your home. Technical expertise guides choices toward the most energy-efficient solutions.

Planning of work and choice of professionals

The logical order of work prevents defects and optimizes the efficiency of each trade. Insulation work always precedes the installation of the new heating system in your apartment. This sequence ensures the optimal sizing of your energy equipment.

RGE certification remains mandatory for all professionals working on your energy renovation projects. This certification guarantees compliance with technical standards and eligibility for available financial assistance. Tax-deductible renovation projects require this professional qualification.

Coordination between trades prevents delays and additional costs on your energy project. Our renovation specialist company manages all stakeholders to ensure your initial schedule is met.

Comprehensive renovation vs. phased work: which strategy should you adopt?

The choice of strategy depends primarily on your available budget and occupancy constraints. Each approach has specific advantages depending on your personal situation and the characteristics of your existing home.

Benefits of high-performance comprehensive renovation

Comprehensive energy renovations technically optimize the interaction between all the equipment in your apartment. This coordinated approach avoids technical incompatibilities and maximizes final energy performance. Heating system dimensions are perfectly adapted to the reinforced insulation for optimal savings.

Access to increased financial aid rewards ambitious projects with higher amounts. MaPrimeRénov’ Sérénité finances up to 50% of the work for a complete renovation, compared to a maximum of 35% per item. This difference often represents several thousand euros in additional savings on your project.

The energy performance guarantee secures your investment with a contractual commitment to the savings achieved. This insurance protects against defects and guarantees the achievement of stated energy targets. Reno systematically offers this guarantee for all its comprehensive renovation projects .

A coherent architectural vision preserves the aesthetic harmony of your renovated apartment while optimizing its functionality. Our renovation company coordinates all the trades according to a unified development plan.

Phased renovation: when is it relevant?

Budgetary constraints sometimes justify phasing energy renovations over several consecutive years. This approach allows you to spread the investment according to your financial capacity without compromising overall technical consistency. The order of interventions remains essential to avoid energy underperformance.

Continuous occupancy of the home during renovations often requires a phased renovation to maintain your comfort. This strategy minimizes daily disruptions by concentrating major work over short periods. The tax exemption for renovations can also be spread over several tax years, depending on your schedule.

Prioritizing based on building condition logically directs the order of interventions toward the most degraded areas. This pragmatic approach maximizes the impact of every euro invested in your progressive energy project.
