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 for energy evaluations

For energy evaluation requests, we currently offer:

Post-retrofit energy evaluations for participants eligible for the Canada Greener Homes Grant;
Post-retrofit energy evaluations for Canada Greener Homes Loan recipients whose loan completion deadline expires before April 1, 2025.
Post-retrofit energy evaluations for Canada Greener Homes Loan recipients who started their retrofit before December 3, 2024, on presentation of proof of commitment. This must be submitted before December 20, 2024.

If you are not in one of these situations, don’t hesitate to request your next energy evaluation now. You will be given an appointment at a convenient time after April 1, 2025.
