Congratulations,
Waterloo Region!

Since 1999, home energy retrofits by REEP customers have resulted in:

A reduction of 18,142 tonnes of greenhouse
gas emissions annually

Over $11,000,000 in grants received by
area residents.

Our customers tell us...

“We were pointed in the right direction regarding upgrades and they really paid off in improving our energy efficiency.”
