STEP 3

Book your Post Retrofit Home Energy audit

Our Registered Energy Advisor will return to your home to evaluate the retrofits you completed. They will provide you with an updated EnerGuide rating. We will provide you with an EnerGuide rating (see below) that will display how energy efficient your home is and submit your improvements on your behalf to Enbridge.

STEP 4

Receive your rebate cheque from Enbridge

Enbridge will send you a rebate cheque based on the upgrades you completed; in addition, you will enjoy further savings on each utility bill year after year.

 

The final rebate cheque will include a $600 reimbursement to offset the cost of both the initial and final energy audit.

Let us help make this process easy!
