SaskEnergy is encouraging individuals to build their new home to a higher energy efficiency level than the minimum building code set out by The National Building Code of Canada.

As we work towards building a more sustainable future for Saskatchewan, we look forward to seeing builders pave a path for energy-efficient homes in our province.

To qualify for a $800 rebate, the house must be:

  • a new residential home in Saskatchewan.
  • a detached house, semi-detached, row house, townhouse or modular home built on a permanent foundation.
  • connected to SaskEnergy’s natural gas system and use natural gas for space heating.
  • modelled by a Energy Advisor from a registered service organization or member of the Canadian Association of Consulting Energy Advisors.
  • built to energy efficiency tiers 3, 4 or 5 of section 9.36 of the National Building Code of Canada.
  • verified by a Energy Advisor completing an assessment of the home, as-built.

How to Participate:

1

Work with an Energy Advisor. We'll provide advice on how to meet energy requirements and verify compliance with energy codes and programs.

2

Energy Advisor assessment. Once we model the home, you can compare options on the best pathway to energy performance.

3

Inspection complete and documentation provided. We will complete a blower door test and EnerGuide rating to verify the performance of the home.

4

Submit your application. Once construction is complete, you can submit your application . Applications must be received within 90 days of activating natural gas service.

5

Home Builder rebate issued. Once SaskEnergy receives your application, a rebate cheque will be mailed within 6 to 8 weeks.
