Before we install you High Efficiency Heating and Cooling Equipment, hire a Natural Resources Canada certified energy advisor (please see the list of certified energy advisors hereafter on the left hand side) to perform an energy evaluation of your home. The advisor will give you a pre-retrofit evaluation report and an EnerGuide rating label for your home.
Energy advisors conduct a detailed, on-site evaluation of your home's energy use from the attic down to the foundation and provide you with a personalized report, including a checklist of recommended retrofits to improve the energy efficiency of your home. The report also shows the grant amounts for each eligible upgrade that you can receive by carrying out these 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, (whichever comes first and subject to available funding).
Contact your energy advisor to perform your post-retrofit evaluation, to confirm your new energy rating and to submit your grant application. Be sure to keep your receipts to claim expenses that could be eligible under the Home Renovation Tax Credit.
Wait 90 days from the date of your post-retrofit evaluation to receive your cheque.
The maximum grant you can receive for a home is $5,000. To get more information on ecoENERGY Retrofit (click here)
