An application starts with an energy evaluation by a certified adviser. That adviser visits an applicant’s home and determines which energy-saving measures would qualify for reimbursement.<\/p>\n If the homeowner chooses to proceed, a licensed contractor would then be hired to conduct the retrofits. After an inspection of the completed work, the homeowner would be reimbursed.<\/p>\n Today’s announcement answers a promise the federal government made in the Fall Economic Statement. The federal grant, the source said, could be combined with other provincial grants as well.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The government of Canada is launching a new program today that offers Canadians grants of up to $5,000 to pay for energy-saving home upgrades, including those to the building envelope.
