Subsequent participations

The steps to follow have been simplified for returning participants wanting a third and subsequent energy evaluations.

You don’t need to have a new pre-retrofit energy evaluation. The most recent energy evaluation of your home will be used to check whether your renovations helped improve the EnerGuide rating of your home. If so, you might be eligible for a grant for new retrofits. The same procedure will apply for all subsequent participations in the Rénoclimat program.

Appointment scheduling

Pre-retrofit energy evaluation services, as well as post-retrofit evaluation services for homes eligible for the Canada Greener Homes Grant (CGHG), will be prioritized for scheduling appointments until March 31, 2025. Between now and that date, post-retrofit evaluation services will also be offered to Canada Greener Homes Loan participants whose claim date expires by March 31, 2025.

For other services, please contact us now to arrange an appointment for next spring.
