Homes provides home and property owners with grants of up to $10,000 to offset the cost of making energy-efficiency improvements. The amount of your grant will depend on the upgrades you complete.
Five Easy Steps to qualify:
- Hire a Natural Resources Canada certified energy advisor to perform an energy evaluation of your home. The advisor will give you a pre-retrofit evaluation report and EnerGuide rating label for your home.
- During the Home Energy Audit, the energy advisor will provide a personalized Energy Efficiency Evaluation Report and a plan that can reduce your energy bills. The report shows how energy efficient your home is and how efficient it could be with energy-saving improvements.
- Select your improvements and implement the recommended energy upgrades, leaving time to ensure your post-retrofit evaluation is completed within 18 months or before March 31, 2011.
- Call your energy advisor to perform your post-retrofit evaluation, to confirm your energy rating and to submit your grant application.
- Wait 90 days from the date off post-retrofit evaluation to receive your cheque. The Governments of Ontario and Canada will each rebate up to $5,000 for your energy efficient upgrades.
