Government Grants!!



Federal ecoENERGY Grant

The Government of Canada now provides grants to property owners who complete energy efficiency retrofits based on the NRCan-licensed energy advisors’ recommendations.

Owners of low-rise residential rental properties may also qualify for a grant. The grant amount is based on carrying out energy efficiency retrofits such as increasing your attic insulation or replacing your heating system with a more efficient system like a geothermal heat pump for example. Only homes that have undergone a residential energy efficiency assessment by an NRCan-licensed advisor will be eligible for grants.

After the first assessment, the homeowner has up to 18 months to complete these retrofits. The highest grant that NRCan is offering is for the installation of a geothermal heat pump. When you replace your existing heating system with a geothermal heat pump, you are entitled to up to a $3,500 grant.

Ontario Home Energy Retrofit Program

To help homeowners save energy, save money and help reduce greenhouse gas emissions, the Ontario government has created the Ontario Home Energy Retrofit Program.

The program provides homeowners with grants of up to $5,000 for home energy improvements and mirrors the Federal ecoENERGY program meaning Ontario residents are eligible for an additional $3,500 for the installation of a qualifying geothermal system.
