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.<\/p>\n

The Canada Greener Homes Grants program \u2014 worth about $2.6 billion over seven years \u2014 will help homeowners upgrade their home insulation, replace windows and doors, and more energy saving measures.<\/p>\n

People across the country will be able to apply online starting today, May 27, 2021. 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
