Federal ecoENERGY Grant
The Government of Canada now provides grants to property owners who complete energy efficiency retrofits based on the NRCan-licensed energy advisors’ recommendations. Owners of low-rise residential rental properties may also qualify for a grant. The grant amount is based on carrying out energy efficiency retrofits such as increasing your attic insulation or replacing your heating system with a more efficient system like a geothermal heat pump for example. Only homes that have undergone a residential energy efficiency assessment by an NRCan-licensed advisor will be eligible for grants.

After the first assessment, the homeowner has up to 18 months to complete these retrofits. The highest grant that NRCan is offering is for the installation of a geothermal heat pump. When you replace your existing heating system with a geothermal heat pump, you are entitled to a $3,500 grant. The maximum grant you can receive through this retrofit program is $5,000.
