Qualify for up to $5,000
renovation grants
To qualify for grants
you need to complete two home energy audits.
The first energy audit must take place before
you renovate - if you want your energy-saving
upgrades to qualify for
Grants + Rebates.
Complete the second energy audit after
all upgrades are finished, and within 18 months of
your initial assessment or by March 31, 2011, whichever is first.
