The rebates we have all been waiting for are finally here! The Federal Government of Canada has announced grants of up to $5000 for upgrading your windows and doors among other incentives for energy-efficient home retrofits or renovations.
What is the Greener Homes initiative?
The Greener Homes Initiative is an opportunity for homeowners to invest in upgrading their homes to make them more energy efficient, therefore reducing energy costs. This will make your monthly energy bills more affordable as the energy efficient windows prevent heat dissipation, allowing your home to remain warm in the winter and cool in the summer, and in turn, support Canada’s greater environmental objectives. The Green Homes Initiative will also aid in creating new jobs across Canada for energy advisors, grow our domestic green supply chains and fight climate change.
Who is Eligible?
All homeowners in Canada regardless of where they live are eligible to participate in the Greener Homes Initiative. Only one homeowner per home can register.
The eligible property types include:
● Single and Semi-Detached Homes
● Row Housing
● Townhomes
● All-season cottages
● Mobile Homes on permanent foundations
● Permanently-moored floating home
● Mixed use building (residential only)
● Small multi-unit residential buildings
What are the requirements for the Greener Home Initiative?
Complete a pre and post-retrofit EnerGuide evaluation
Complete at least one retrofit that is both eligible and recommended
