Canadian Home Owner Retrofit Program back on! $5000 in government rebates

ecoENERGY Retrofit Grant Program 2011
The ecoENERGY Retrofit – Homes program can help you invest inenergy-efficient upgrades. Owners of most houses, four-season recreational properties and low-rise multi-unit residential buildings (MURBs) can register to be eligible. The maximum federal grant is $5,000 for applications since April 2007. If you participated before April 1, 2011, and have not received the maximum amount for your current property, you can submit one more application for additional improvements after June 6, 2011. Owners of multiple dwellings and MURBs could receive up to $1,000,000.
Steps to apply for the grant
1. Registration: First, register with Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) at oee.nrcan.gc.ca/register and receive a registration number. If you do not have Internet access, you can call 1 800 O-Canada (1-800-622-6232).
2. Pre-retrofit evaluation: Hire a local service organization licensed by NRCan. They will send a certified energy advisor to perform a pre-retrofit energy evaluation from the attic to
the foundation. If the property has already been evaluated under this program since April 2007, a new pre-retrofit
evaluation is not required.

3. Retrofit with receipts: Choose, purchase and install eligible measures described in this document, and keep your receipts for three years. The more upgrades you implement, the more money you can receive, and the more energy you can save.
4. Post-retrofit evaluation: Complete your renovations and obtain a post-retrofit evaluation no later than March 31, 2012. You must show all your receipts to your energy advisor during the final evaluation to verify that eligible upgrades were purchased after June 6, 2011, and installed after a preretrofit evaluation.
