The Energy Assessment
The Energy Assessment is designed to help homeowners and owners of existing low-rise properties make smart energy retrofit decisions that will result in significant energy savings and a cleaner environment.
A certified energy advisor will perform a pre-retrofit audit of the home and provide you with your own personalized action checklist. We identify improvements you can make to your home’s heating, cooling, hot water heating, ventilation system and other energy uses that could result in hundreds of dollars in energy savings each year in addition to a $150 rebate. When upgrades are completed, you can call us back to complete a post-retrofit assessment and receive an updated label. If you're planning on selling your home, you'll now be able to prove how energy efficient your home is.
A pre-retrofit service includes:
- a detailed energy evaluation of your home carried out by a certified energy advisor
- a blower door test to find air leaks
- a printed report that shows where your energy dollars are being spent and what you can do to improve your home's energy efficiency
- an energy efficiency rating label that shows you how energy efficient your home is compared with others in your region
To qualify for the provincial rebate and save money:

- Receive a $150 provincial rebate.

A post-retrofit service includes:
