Four easy steps to a retrofit grant

Take advantage of the ecoENERGY Retrofit grant to make your home more energy
efficient and help you save money. To qualify, follow these four easy steps:

1. Before you undertake any energy efficiency renovations, hire a Natural Resources Canada certified energy advisor to perform an energy evaluation of your home. The
advisor will give you a pre-retrofit evaluation report and an EnerGuide rating label for
your home.

2. Select your improvements and implement the recommended energy upgrades,
leaving time to ensure your post-retrofit evaluation is completed within 18 months or
before March 31, 2011, (whichever comes first and subject to available funding).

3. Call your energy advisor to perform your post-retrofit evaluation, to confirm your
new energy rating and to submit your grant application.

4. Wait 90 days from the date of your post-retrofit evaluation to receive your cheque.
