Improve your energy efficiency and save

ecoENERGY Retrofit for Homes provides home and property owners with federal grants of up to $5,000 and in Ontario an additional provincial grant of $5,000 for a total of $10,000 to help offset the cost of making energy efficiency improvements to their house. The average grant is expected to be more than $2,000 and will yield an average 25 percent reduction in energy use and costs. Only homes that have undergone a residential energy efficiency assessment by an energy advisor certified by Natural Resources Canada will be eligible for grants.

Detached homes, row housing, and mobile homes on permanent foundations may qualify for an ecoENERGY Retrofit Homes grant. The ecoENERGY Retrofit grant is based on the type and number of energy improvements that have been made, and how it improved the efficiency of the home.

Homeowners participating in the ecoENERGY Retrofit – Homes program are eligible to receive the temporary Home Renovation Tax Credit in addition to the ecoENERGY Retrofit – Homes grant for some of the improvements made.
