EKR material supply
Obligation scheme, not a grant.
EKR is Hungary’s Energy Efficiency Obligation Scheme. EuConX supplies materials, with paperwork, to obligated parties’ contractor partners.
Free attic insulation has ended. What to do now
In short: in 2026 there is no live national free attic programme, and there is no official date for a new round. If you want to insulate this year, the realistic route is paid: 12 700 Ft/m² gross, with standard material, delivery and installation.
Don't wait for another free round
Proposals to rework the EKR rules could bring changes from 1 January 2027 at the earliest, and nothing is final yet. More on that here.
Work out the paid cost
The formula: m² × 12 700 Ft gross (10 000 Ft net + 27% VAT). An 80 m² attic floor with standard work comes to 1 016 000 Ft gross. Worked examples and the extra items: Attic floor insulation cost 2026.
Ask for a survey
The final price and date are fixed in the written offer after the on-site survey. Request one at szigeteles.euconx.com, or call us on +36 30 485 0258.

szigeteles.euconx.com ↗What is the Energy Efficiency Obligation Scheme (EKR)?
The Energy Efficiency Obligation Scheme (EKR) has, since 2021, required large energy suppliers to deliver energy savings. It is not public procurement, and it is not a building energy risk program. A material supplier or a website does not decide whether a project counts.
The core unit is HEM (Verified Energy Savings). EuConX supplies material; we do not promise HEM eligibility.
The former national free attic-insulation program has ended. For 2026 we do not promise a state route that brings the work to zero for the owner. Paid turnkey work is at https://szigeteles.euconx.com, at 12 700 Ft/m² gross (10 000 Ft net + 27% VAT).
