We deliver Natural Resource Canada's residential energy assessment service to owners of single family homes. Under the ecoEnergy Retrofit program, property owners can qualify for grants by improving the energy efficiency of their homes, and reducing their home's impact on the environment.
- The ecoENERGY Retrofit – Homes program has successfully reached its goal of 250,000 registered homeowners.
- To help ensure registered homeowners have time to get their post-retrofit evaluations and receive a grant, the Government of Canada is extending the deadline to June 30, 2012, for homeowners to complete post-retrofit evaluations. At the time of the post-retrofit evaluation, homeowners must provide receipts to indicate that all renovations were completed during the eligibility period and by March 31, 2012.
- Homeowners should schedule their post-retrofit evaluation at the earliest possible date since it may be difficult to book an appointment as the program nears the end date.
The ecoENERGY Retrofit – Homes program provides grants up to $5,000 to help homeowners make their homes more energy-efficient and reduce the burden of high energy costs. The Government of Canada has renewed the program from June 6, 2011, until March 31, 2012.
How the Program Works: To be eligible for upcoming retrofits, new participants and past participants must first obtain a registration number. If you are not sure which form to complete or if you need assistance, follow the instructions at the register page. All participants require a pre-retrofit evaluation (since April 2007) before starting renovations, a post-retrofit evaluation and a signed grant application form by March 31, 2012.
Participants must present all retrofit receipts at the post-retrofit evaluation. New participants are only eligible for product purchased after June 6, 2011, and installed after a pre-retrofit evaluation. Past participants are only eligible for products purchased and installed after June 6, 2011.
