Upgrading your house and making it more energy efficient

EnerGuide for Houses Program

EnerGuide for Houses has been developed by the office of Energy Efficiency of Natural Resources Canada (NRCAN) to help homeowners make retrofit choices that improve the comfort and energy efficiency of your home.

How does the program work?

Independent energy advisors are available to visit your home to identify how your home uses energy and where it is being wasted. Advisors will show you how to cut energy costs for heating & cooling while ensuring air is healthy to breathe.

To be eligible for a grant

You must have a pre-retrofit evaluation done before any renovations are started. After the renovations are completed a second follow up list is then performed to evaluate the changes. The EnerGuide for Houses service includes:

• 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 EnerGuide for Houses rating label that shows you how energy efficient your home is compared with others

Right now enjoy a free eco energy evaluation when you purchase a Lennox high-efficiency gas furnace and 14 seer air conditioning package together.

Enroll with us in the Energuide program if you have an:

• Older Oil Furnace

• Older Mid or Standing Pilot Natural Gas or Propane Furnace

• If you have plans to upgrade your windows/doors/insulation in your home.

Hurry this is a limited time offer. Grant you receive will vary from house to house and with the actual before and after Energuide rating you achieve.

Join the dozens of local homeowners who have upgraded their homes and as well taking part in the reduction of green house gases into the atmosphere.
