Grant Programs
NRCan and Ontario eco-ENERGY
grant programs
The ecoENERGY Retrofit-Homes program of Natural Resources Canada offers grants of up to $5000.00 to owners of single family, detached and semi-detached homes who invest in energy-efficiency upgrades. The province of Ontario is matching the federal program (Ontario Eco Energy) so the maximum grant per home is now $10,000.00. For a house under 2,400 sq. ft. in Ottawa, the first evaluation and customized report costs $350 plus GST but the Province of Ontario rebates $150 so the net cost is just $200. After you have done the upgrades, the follow-up evaluation costs $150.
How to get started?
First, an eco-ENERGY audit is done on your home to advise you of eligible ENERGY related upgrades that you can make. These can include:
- Heating system
- Cooling system
- Attic/wall/basement insulation
- Hot water system
- Solar systems
- Water conservation
- Doors/windows
- Air leakage (heat loss improvements)
- ... etc
