ecoENERGY — conditions

Some conditions apply.

Home energy assessment — To qualify for ecoENERGY incentives you must get a home energy assessment before and after your upgrades. You will receive grants for upgrades started after your first assessment.
Renovations — You can complete the upgrade work yourself or hire a contractor. We recommend you document your renovations with receipts, photos and product literature to be sure you get full credit for all improvements.
Once per house — You can apply for federal ecoENERGY grants once per house. Use this opportunity to complete as many upgrades as possible within your 18 month eligibility period.
18 months — You have 18 months from the date of your first energy assessment to finish your upgrades and complete a second energy assessment.
Existing homes only — Newly built homes occupied for less than six months do not qualify for ecoENERGY grants. Once a newly built home has been occupied for more than six months, there is no limit to how old a home can be to qualify for ecoENERGY incentives.
Local codes & by-laws — All upgrades or renovations must meet local codes and by-laws. Pay special attention to the placement of vapour barriers when adding insulation to the building envelope. Before undertaking upgrades or renovations, find out about the appropriate products and installation techniques to ensure that your home’s building envelope and indoor air quality will not be compromised.
Higher efficiency — To qualify for ecoENERGY grants, any new equipment must have a higher efficiency than that of the original equipment it replaces.
Program rules — You will receive a homeowner kit during your first energy assessment that includes printed ecoENERGY literature explaining the rules of the program. Take the time to read these rules carefully. Homeowners are responsible for learning and following the rules of the ecoENERGY Retrofit – Homes program.
Questions about eligibility — If you are not certain about the eligibility of your house, or any specific upgrades you are planning, you should request clarification from the federal government. Homeowners are responsible for clarifying that their house and planned upgrades are eligible for ecoENERGY grants before undertaking any renovation work and related expenses.
