I will soon be a homeowner. Can I register in the Rénoclimat program before taking possession of my future home?
Yes. You can request an appointment that takes into account the date you will take possession of your future home.
- You must be the legal owner of your new home as of the date of the visit by the Rénoclimat advisor.
- For the purposes of the Rénoclimat program, the notarial act is proof of the date the home was taken possession of as the legal owner.
- Prior to the start of the visit, you will be required to present the notarial act demonstrating your possession of the home. Without this document, we will not be able to complete the energy evaluation of your home.
Obtain your appointment
You may be asked for a document that demonstrates the date that the home will be taken possession of at the time of the appointment (e.g. accepted offer to purchase, letter of authorization from the current homeowner, confirmation of appointment with a notary, etc.).
Why is it necessary to have two energy evaluations?
Two energy evaluations are necessary to measure the annual energy consumption of your home and verify the improvement after the work has been completed.
Each evaluation is conducted by a Rénoclimat energy advisor and includes a blower door test.
- The first energy evaluation serves to determine the ÉnerGuide rating of your home before the work starts.
- The second energy evaluation serves to validate the work that was carried out and determine the ÉnerGuide rating of your home once the work is completed.
When both results are compared, it will be possible to observe if the ÉnerGuide rating of your home improved or not. It will also determine if you are eligible for financial assistance.
It is even possible to ask for an additional evaluation for any work that is carried out after the second evaluation.
Learn more about the energy evaluation process.
What is the EnerGuide rating?
The EnerGuide rating is the energy efficiency measurement of a home: it lets you know your home’s annual energy consumption. The ÉnerGuide rating is based on the results of the blower door test and on the characteristics of your home as collected by an accredited energy advisor. The rating is produced using energy simulation software.
To learn more, consult the EnerGuide Rating page.
Note: The previous EnerGuide rating scale ranged from 0 to 100 and served as an indicator of a home’s energy efficiency. As of October 1, 2019, the EnerGuide rating is expressed in gigajoules-per-year (GJ/year): it represents the home’s annual energy consumption.
Why can’t the work start before the first evaluation?
It is important for the Rénoclimat energy advisor to be able to evaluate and measure the exact energy performance of your home before the work starts.
The purpose of the blower door test, which is performed during evaluations, is to determine the airtightness of your home by measuring the rate of air flowing through a ventilator installed for this purpose. If you have already started the renovation work, the test will be falsified because it may not reflect the regular airtightness of your home. That is why it is important to wait for the Rénoclimat energy advisor to visit your home before starting any work. Otherwise, we will not grant you financial assistance for your energy-based renovations.
Can financial assistance from Chauffez vert, Rénoclimat and Hydro-Québec’s LogisVert programs be combined?
Yes. You can combine the financial assistance from the programs, but for different types of retrofits.
For example, you could get financial assistance from Chauffez vert for replacing an oil or propane heating system, from Hydro-Québec for installing a heat pump and from Rénoclimat for energy improvement retrofits.
Does door and window replacement qualify for Rénoclimat program assistance?
Yes, door and window replacement work qualifies for Rénoclimat program assistance.
As of March 31, 2018, financial assistance is granted to eligible participants who replace their doors and windows with ENERGY STAR® certified models.
Please see the Replacement of doors and windows section for further details.
I replaced my doors and windows last year. Can I still receive financial assistance from the Rénoclimat program?
You may qualify for Rénoclimat financial assistance if you replaced your doors and windows after the energy evaluation of your home and have not yet requested your post-work evaluation.
How long does it take to receive the Rénoclimat financial assistance cheque?
It generally takes eight to 10 weeks after the post-retrofit energy evaluation to receive the financial assistance granted under the Rénoclimat program.
This may take longer if additional verifications, a quality control or analysis of the components of the mechanical systems installed in the home are required.
How are the financial assistance amounts calculated?
Financial assistance amounts vary based on the type of work that is carried out. For more information, click here.
Are energy evaluations still free of charge?
All energy evaluations are currently free of charge.
Starting November 1, 2024:
- A fee of $150 plus taxes will apply for the first pre-retrofit visit. The fee will be reimbursed (excluding taxes) if you are eligible for financial assistance when your retrofits are completed and if the EnerGuide rating of your home has improved.
- The first post-retrofit visit will remain free of charge.
- A fee of 150$ plus taxes will apply for each subsequent energy evaluation. This amount is not refundable.
Rénoclimat will continue to offer personalized eco-energy advice and financial assistance to support homeowners in their energy efficiency improvement projects.
Who are the Rénoclimat energy advisors in my region?

Can condominium owners participate in the Rénoclimat program?
Participation in the Rénoclimat program and the evaluation apply to an entire building. Accordingly, in the case of a multiple unit residential condominium building, the authorized representative of the syndicate of co-owners acts on behalf of the co-owners to participate in the Rénoclimat program. The dwelling units cannot be evaluated individually. Registration must be made in the name of the syndicate of co-owners, which will benefit from the financial assistance.
If your pre-retrofit energy evaluation was not done between April 1, 2020, and February 19, 2024
The Canada Greener Homes Grant is now closed to new applicants. If you did not have a pre-retrofit energy evaluation completed between April 1, 2020 and February 19, 2024, you are not eligible for the federal grant. The Rénoclimat program is still ongoing and if you apply, you could be eligible for financial assistance upon the completion of your retrofits.
If your pre-retrofit energy evaluation was done between April 1, 2020, and February 19, 2024
- You must complete your work, have your post-work evaluation done, and receive your financial assistance from the Government of Québec before your file can be sent to the federal government for the Canada Greener Homes Grant. At present, no deadline has been announced for completing your work and having your second energy evaluation done.
- If you have several energy-efficient projects to complete (e.g., installing a heat pump or windows), make sure you complete all the work before requesting your post-work evaluation. Your participation in the CGHG will end after the post-work evaluation.
- Keep an eye on communications from Natural Resources Canada to ensure you meet the deadlines for completing your work and submitting your application.
If your post-retrofit energy evaluation has been completed
- The processing of your file is in progress. When the Rénoclimat process is completed, it will automatically be sent to the Canada Greener Homes Grant team as usual if your pre-retrofit energy evaluation was conducted between April 1, 2020 and February 19, 2024.
- When you receive your Rénoclimat cheque, check your inbox and junk mail for communications from Natural Resources Canada indicating that your file is being processed.
I am currently participating in the Rénoclimat program. Am I automatically registered for the federal program?
If your last Rénoclimat pre-work energy evaluation was completed between April 1, 2020, and February 19, 2024, and you meet all the conditions of the federal program, you will automatically be registered for the federal grant.
Are the eligibility requirements the same for the federal program and Rénoclimat?
No. Some eligibility requirements are different in both programs. Be sure to check the criteria that apply to your situation before registering for Rénoclimat.
Can I apply the benefit of the federal grant to a second home?
No. The Canada Greener Homes Grant is only available for a primary residence. Exceptions apply to housing for Indigenous people.
This eligibility requirement is different in the Rénoclimat program: Rénoclimat is available for both primary and secondary residences.
What are the eligible heat pumps?
As of September 30, 2024, the installation of geothermal heating systems and air source heat pumps is no longer eligible for financial assistance from Rénoclimat. Be sure to select a system that is on the federal list of eligible heat pumps, and that you meet all of their other eligibility criteria.
- List of eligible heat pumps under the Canada Greener Homes Grant
Do the retrofits have to be done by a contractor to qualify in order to be eligible for the federal grant?
The Canada Greener Homes Grant does not require work to be done by a contractor. That said, certain types of work (such as plumbing and electrical work, as well as the installation of mechanical systems like air- and ground-source heat pumps) are governed by a code and must be done by a qualified professional.
If you would like to hire a contractor for your renovations, please consult some of our tips in the section devoted to General Questions (How to choose a contractor to carry out renovations?)
How much financial assistance can I get from each program?
The financial assistance from the federal program can reach up to $5,000 for eligible projects, but is not automatically added to the financial assistance provided by Rénoclimat.
For each participant, the financial assistance provided by the Rénoclimat program will be adjusted based on the work done and the amounts set out by the federal program. This way, once both financial assistance amounts have been applied, you will receive an amount equal to or greater than what was originally set out in Rénoclimat.
How can I receive the federal grant?
In Québec, you had to register for the Rénoclimat program to be apply for the Canada Greener HomesGrant. Access to the grant is now closed to new applicants. Those who have completed a pre-retrofit energy evaluation between April 1, 2020, and February 19, 2024 might be eligible for the grant if their application meets the federaleligibility criteria.
