Important Notes:
1. 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.
2. New equipment must have a higher efficiency
In replacing any of the equipment listed in this brochure, the new
equipment must have a higher efficiency than that of the original
equipment.
3. Attic insulation incentives
Incentives for attic insulation will vary according to the existing level
of insulation. For example, if you increase the insulation from a low RSI
value, such as RSI 1.8 (R-10), to a new value of RSI 7 (R-40), you will
receive a larger incentive than if you started from RSI 4.2 (R-24) and increased
it to RSI 7 (R-40).
4. Insulation RSI and R values
Insulation value in RSI = R insulation value divided by 5.678.
5. Semi-detached or a end unit in a row house
In the case of a semi-detached house or a row house that is an end unit,
the grant amount for the insulation of exterior above grade, basement or crawl
space walls is 75 percent of the amount shown above. In the case
of a row house that is a middle unit, the grant amount is 50 percent of
the amount shown.
6. Multi-unit residential buildings (MURB)
In the case of multi-unit residential buildings, the total incentive will
be calculated for the entire building and not for each dwelling
upgraded within.

7. ENERGY STAR® qualified products
For more information on ENERGY STAR® qualified products,
visit energystar.gc.ca. The ENERGY STAR® name and
the ENERGY STAR® symbol are registered trademarks of the United
States Environmental Protection Agency and are used with permission.8. Ontario Ministry of Energy
The Ontario Ministry of Energy reserves the right to update the information
contained in this document, including the grant amounts, as required. Refer to the
Web site homeenergyontario.ca for the most up-to-date information.9. Central air conditioners and air-source heat pumps
Central air conditioners and air-source heat pumps must be ENERGY STAR qualified
with a seasonal energy efficiency ratio (SEER) of 14 or greater to be eligible
for a grant. To meet this requirement, a manufacturer's new ENERGY STAR qualified
matched condenser coil (outdoor unit comprised of condenser coil, compressor and
cooling fan) and indoor evaporator coil (typically located with the furnace /
air handler) must be SEER 14 or greater. Under no circumstance will the replacement
of only one of these coils entitle the homeowner to a grant for the cooling system,
just as components that are not certified by the manufacturer as being matched will
not be accepted.
Currently, many companies match their SEER 13 central air conditioner coil packages
with one of their DC variable speed motor equipped furnaces / air handlers (i.e. blower)
as a method to reduce the power consumption requirement for ENERGY STAR compliance
and labelling. However, NRCan will NOT accept this arrangement under the ecoENERGY
program because the outside condenser unit must meet the minimum SEER 14 requirement
with its matching inside evaporator coil only and not in combination with an
energy-efficient motor from a furnace.
When having your new central air conditioner or air-source heat pump installed,
ask the contractor to indicate on your invoice the manufacturer's name
not the model name) of the condenser coil and the model numbers of BOTH the new
condenser and new evaporator coils. The energy advisor will request to see this
information when performing the post-retrofit evaluation on your home.
The numbers above represent matching rebates provided by the Government of Ontario
and the Government of Canada’s ecoENERGY program.
