CANADA GREENER HOMES INITIATIVE
Did you know you may be eligible to receive up to $5,600 in grant money from the federal government to improve the efficiency of your home? The Canada Greener Homes Grant started in May 2021 and has already helped tens of thousands of Canadian homeowners. The government designed this program to fight climate change, create jobs and reduce utility bills for homeowners.
The Grant covers up to $5,000 for heating systems and renewable energy items. It also offers up to $600 for the cost of pre- and post-retrofit energy EnerGuide evaluations.
NEW HOME EFFICIENCY REBATE PLUS PROGRAM (HER+)
Enbridge Gas and the Canada Greener Homes Initiative have partnered to provide rebates toward energy-efficient home improvements. If you are or are becoming an Enbridge Gas customer, if you install a new Heat Pump System in your home, you may be eligible to now receive up to $7,100 in rebates. (This combines the HER+ with the Canada Greener Initiative)

HOW DOES THE GREENER HOMES GRANT WORK?
The first thing you need to know about the Canada Greener Homes Grant is that you must pay for all the materials and contractors upfront. You must also pay for two EnerGuide evaluations conducted by an authorized energy adviser – one before your renovations begin and one after they’re complete. Once the auditor certifies the improvements, you’ll receive a cheque in the mail within approximately six months.
