Four easy steps to a retrofit grant

Four easy steps to get your ecoENERGY Retrofit grant

Take advantage of the ecoENERGY Retrofit grant to make your home more energy efficient and help you save money. To qualify, follow these four easy steps:

  1. Before you undertake any energy efficiency renovations, hire a Natural Resources Canada certified energy advisor 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.
  2. 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).
  3. Call your energy advisor to perform your post-retrofit evaluation, to confirm your new energy rating and to submit your grant application.
  4. Wait 90 days from the date of your post-retrofit evaluation to receive your cheque.
