What is a Home Energy Assessment?

Performed by a Certified Energy Advisor licensed by Natural Resources Canada, a Home Energy Assessment identifies improvements you can make to your home's space and water heating, cooling, insulation, air leakage and other energy uses that could result in hundreds of dollars in energy savings each year. Your home will also receive an EnerGuide® for Houses rating. In addition to saving energy, you'll also be helping to minimize your carbon footprint.
A typical assessment involves the following steps:
  • a walk-through assessment of your home's insulation, heating and cooling systems and other energy uses
  • a blower door depressurization test to identify leaks and drafts
  • a personalized Energy Efficiency Evaluation Report and EnerGuide for Houses rating

Terms and conditions

These incentives are subject to revision and will be paid in accordance with the Terms and conditions in place at the time of the homeowner’s second energy assessment.
