Steps to follow
To qualify for the Rénoclimat program, you must apply for an energy evaluation of your home before undertaking any work, then complete the renovations and ask for a post-work energy evaluation.
You may receive financial assistance under the Rénoclimat program if the work improves the energy efficiency of your home and if you meet the program conditions.
Unusual wait time – November 2023

Steps to follow when participating for a second or third time.
You may obtain assistance from the Rénoclimat program more than once for the same home. However, you must carry out different work each time you participate. Please see the steps for subsequent participation in the program.
Deadline that must be met
There is no specific deadline that must be met between the two pre-work and post-work energy evaluations to remain eligible for financial assistance. You can take the time you need to carry out the work and decide when it is the right time for you to request the post-work energy evaluation for your home.
Once this evaluation is done, the financial assistance to which you are entitled will be mailed to you.
The financial assistance granted to eligible participants who began to participate in the program before May 11, 2020 will be evaluated by TEQ when the post-work or subsequent energy evaluation is done.
