ecoENERGY Retrofit – Homes Program
The ecoENERGY Retrofit – Homes program provides grants up to $5,000 to help homeowners make their homes more energy-efficient and reduce the burden of high energy costs. The Government of Canada renewed the program from June 6, 2011, until March 31, 2012.
New Deadline for Evaluations
The deadline to complete eligible renovations was March 31, 2012, however the deadline to obtain a post-retrofit evaluation is now June 30, 2012. For more information, visit the dates and deadlines page or the registration section of the Frequently-Asked Questions (FAQ) page.
How the Program Works
To be eligible, new and past participants must complete the following steps:
- Register with the renewed program by January 28, 2012,
- Pre-retrofit evaluation before installing upgrades,
- Retrofit with receipts by March 31, 2012, and
- Post-retrofit evaluation no later than June 30, 2012.
Eligible homeowners should now schedule a post-retrofit evaluation with a licensed service organization at the earliest possible opportunity and provide all receipts to the energy advisor.
The Grant Table offers an overview of the program and a breakdown of eligible upgrades. Visit the Frequently-Asked Questions page for more details and contact information.
