Reserve A Pre-Retrofit Home Energy Evaluation
To be eligible for reimbursement, participants in the Greener Homes Initiative must obtain an EnerGuide Home Energy Evaluation, performed by a Natural Resources Canada Registered Energy Advisor before any work or retrofitting is completed.
Register With Natural Resources Canada To Confirm Your Greener Homes Initiative eligibility
You can register with Natural Resources Canada either by phone or using the Greener Homes Initiative web portal. To register by phone call: 1-833-674-8282 (TTY: 1 800-465-7735)
Select Your Previously Selected Energy Advisor As Your Service Organization
During registration, you will have to choose which service organization you have scheduled your home energy evaluation with. Check this list or call our team for recommendations on local, trusted organizations.
Natural Resources Canada will send us confirmation of your eligibility and we will confirm your pre-retrofit Home Energy Evaluation reservation made in step 1.
Plan, Document And Complete Your Home Retrofits
After you receive the EnerGuide Home Energy Report in the portal from your Energy Advisor, you will review the recommendations & decide which to implement.
You will need to complete at least one retrofit that is both eligible and recommended by your Energy Advisor. You can find your home’s recommendations in your Renovations Upgrade Report and the online portal.
Book Your Post-Retrofit Evaluation And Apply For Reimbursement
Once you have completed your home retrofits, you can start the reimbursement process. To be reimbursed, you need to submit all your required documents online or by mail.
Once your evaluation is complete, a new EnerGuide label and a post-evaluation report will show you how much more energy-efficient your home has become.
