Canada Greener Homes Grant: The homeowner journey

Step 1. Apply Learn about how the grant process works, and ensure you meet all the eligibility criteria for the grant before you apply. Select our service organization to conduct the EnerGuide evaluation, and submit your application through the Canada Greener Homes Grant portal. Apply now Eligibility Requirements:

Only one homeowner per home can register

Step 2B. (optional) Interest-free loan Interest-free loans of up to $40,000, with a repayment term of 10 years to help you undertake major home retrofits Once you have received your pre-retrofit EnerGuide evaluation and decided which retrofits you would like to do, you can apply for a loan. The loan will help cover the cost of retrofits that are both eligible and recommended by your energy advisor. To apply for the loan, you must provide at least one cost estimate for the retrofits. You are not eligible for a loan if you have already started or completed the retrofits. Note: You will receive the loan only after the completed work has been verified through a post-retrofit EnerGuide evaluation. Step 3. Retrofit your home After the pre-retrofit EnerGuide evaluation is complete, you will need to review the recommendations and decide which retrofits work best for your budget and renovation plans. Step 4. Post-retrofit EnerGuide evaluation This is a mandatory step after you finish your retrofits. Contact us to book your Post-retrofit Energy Evaluation You must book a post-retrofit EnerGuide evaluation, and submit the required documents online or by mail. Once the post-retrofit EnerGuide evaluation is complete, your new EnerGuide label will show you how much more energy-efficient your home has become.

Step 5. Request and receive your grant You will receive an email asking you to confirm your total grant amount, which will help you cover part of your retrofits cost. After you confirm, you will receive a cheque for the grant by mail within the 30 business days.
