Frequently asked questions
I already had an EnerGuide evaluation and/or completed retrofits. Am I eligible for the grant?
When you apply, you will have an option to select that you already completed a pre-retrofit evaluation, and you will be directed to the next step.
- If you conducted an evaluation before April 1, 2020, you need a new evaluation.
- If you conducted an evaluation between April 1, 2020, and November 30, 2020, you can use the evaluation for the initiative but you will not get a grant for that evaluation. To receive the grant, your eligible home retrofits must have occurred on or after December 1, 2020.
- If you conducted an evaluation between December 1, 2020 and June 30, 2021, you can receive the grant for both the evaluations and for the retrofits if you complete at least one eligible retrofit on or after December 1, 2020. In this case, the retrofit does not need to be recommended by your energy advisor in their report.
- If the evaluations occurred on or after July 1, 2021, you can receive a grant for both the evaluations and the retrofits if you complete at least one retrofit that is both eligible and recommended by your energy advisor in their report.
Is my newly built home eligible for the grant program?
New homes are not eligible for the grant. Newly built homes are defined as homes that are no more than six months old, based on the date of occupancy by the first homeowner. This criterion will apply to homeowners at the time of application.
