ecoENERGY Evaluations: Your Four Steps

As of January 28, 2012, the ecoENERGY Retrofit - Homes program is closed to new registrations. A new deadline for post-retrofit evaluations has also been established. Click here for important dates.

Are You Eligible?

The following four steps are required for homeowners to be eligible to receive ecoENERGY Retrofit - Homes grants and Kitchener Home Energy Grants.

The maximum ecoENERGY Retrofit – Homes grant is $5,000 for applications since 2007. If you have participated before April 1, 2011, and have not received the maximum amount for your current property, you can submit one more application for additional improvements made after June 6, 2011.

1. Registration

• First, register with Natural Resources Canada at oee.nrcan.gc.ca/register and receive a registration number. If you do not have internet access, you can call 1-800-622-6232.

2. Your Pre-Retrofit Evaluation

• Send your registration number and a daytime phone number to info@reepgreen.ca and we will contact you to book your pre-retrofit evaluation. You may also call us at 519-744-9799
• We will send one of our Certified Energy Advisors to perform a pre-retrofit evaluation from the attic to the foundation. *If the property has already been evaluated under this program since April 2007, a new pre-retrofit evaluation is not required

3. Renovate With Receipts!

• Choose, purchase and install eligible measures described in the ecoENERGY grant table, and keep your receipts for three years. The more upgrades you implement, the more money you can receive, and the more energy you can save.
• If you qualify for Kitchener Home Energy Grants, you will receive an additional grant for upgrades to insulation and air sealing (draft-proofing)

4. Post-Retrofit Evaluation

• Complete your renovations and obtain a post-retrofit evaluation no later than March 31, 2012. You must show all your receipts to your energy advisor during the final evaluation to verify that eligible upgrades were purchased after June 6, 2011, and installed after a pre-retrofit evaluation.
