As part of the initiative, you have access to:

  • Grants from $125 to $5,000 to get a part of your costs back for eligible home retrofits.
  • Up to $600 as a maximum contribution toward the total costs of your pre- and post-retrofit energy evaluations.
  • Interest-free loans of up to $40,000 with a repayment term of 10 years to help you undertake major home retrofits.

It is important that you read all eligibility criteria and grant requirements to be sure that you will qualify for the grant at the end of the process. You must undertake an EnerGuide evaluation pre- and post-retrofit to be eligible for the retrofit grant.
