Greener Home Rebates
Canadian homeowners can use the Canadian Greener Homes Grant to improve insulation in their home by widening insulation coverage in any of the following: crawl space, basement, ceiling/attic, exposed floors, or exterior walls. By investing in insulation, there will not only be financial benefits but you will also see improvements in the heat loss rate of your home. This will result in a more energy efficient environment for you and your whole family. We use a system that measures the insulation’s resistance to heat flow. The higher the resistance level, the more beneficial it is to your home because it means heat is transferring through insulation materials slowly. Using the levels measured, our expert energy advisors will give you the incentive’s calculation and provide recommendations of improvements for insulation throughout your home.
It is important to note that all equipment used for insulation must be bought in Canada, and purchases made online are only eligible if ordered from a Canadian distributor
A retrofit strategy to improve the energy efficiency of your home will likely start by reducing air that is allowed to leave the house. Our energy experts will provide you with a report which will give you a target to increase the tightness of the air in your home. The lower your current value is, the more favourable your grant will be. Typically, air-sealing professionals are hired to help with high levels of tightness in your home’s air.
The average Canadian household spends over 60% of its energy on heating – largely due to the country’s cold climate. Switching to more energy-efficient heating equipment, such as heat pumps, will help you lower your environmental impacts and reduce your utility bills. Over the course of a product’s lifetime, the cost of energy to operate it is just as important as the upfront price, if not more so.
An electrically-driven device, a heat pump extracts heat from a low-temperature place and delivers it to an area with a higher temperature. In a moderate climate, relying on a heat pump to heat or cool your home is effective. In colder climates, a “cold climate” heat pump” is more effective as the need for supplemental heat sources is reduced.
There are a number of energy-efficiency upgrades you can make to your home’s windows. By upgrading the windows in your home and replacing the frames, you can invest in Energy-Star certified products that will make your home more comfortable and reduce the amount of energy needed for cooling or heating.

The Canada Greener Homes Initiative gives homeowners the chance to obtain a grant for installing technology with solar renewable energy such as solar panels. This type of energy uses energy derived from natural processes that replenish faster or at an equal rate than consumed. Solar photovoltaic technology converts sunlight into electricity directly. You could be eligible for reimbursement for a part of the costs of installing batteries that store the solar energy you created. This is granted by the Climate Resiliency Grants.
