Making improvements to reduce the air from leaving your house is the single most important retrofit to improve energy efficiency, and it should be considered first in any retrofit strategy. Your Renovation Upgrade Report (RUR) will provide you with a target to improve the air-tightness of your home. The lower the value you achieve; the more favorable the grant amount. Typically, these levels would be achieved with the assistance of an air-sealing professional.
Perform professional air sealing to improve the air-tightness of your home.
| Options: | Grant Amounts |
|---|---|
| Meet the target in your RUR | $550 |
| Obtain a larger Grant: | |
| If you reach 10% better than the target in your report (i.e. 0.9 x target valueFootnote1) | $810 |
| If you reach 20% better than the target in your report (i.e. 0.8 x target valueFootnote1) | $1,000 |

Eligible homeowners in Canada regardless of where they live, can participate in the initiative. Only one homeowner per home can register. You will be required to:
Eligible property types:
You must:
Once you have completed your retrofits, you can seek reimbursement for:
Check that you meet all the eligibility criteria for the grant, review the requirements, and learn more about the process
To participate, you must register online on the Greener Homes Grant portal. Up to 700,000 grants will be available.
Your pre-retrofit EnerGuide evaluation is the next step in improving the energy efficiency of your home. This evaluation is required before you undertake your retrofits and will be performed by an NRCan registered energy advisor
After you receive the EnerGuide evaluation in the portal from your energy advisor, you may review the recommendations for your home retrofits and decide which retrofits work best for your budget and renovation plans.
You will need to complete at least one retrofit that is both eligible and recommended by your energy advisor. You can find your home’s recommendations in your Renovations Upgrade Report and on the online portal
Once you have completed your home retrofits, you can start the reimbursement process. To be reimbursed, you need to book your post-retrofit evaluation and submit all your required documents online or by mail.
Once your evaluation is complete, a new EnerGuide label and a post-evaluation report will show you how much more energy-efficient your home has become.
Before your reimbursement is finalized, you will need to confirm your grant total in the portal. This is the last step before you receive your cheque.
Logik Roofing & Insulation is excited to announce we are an approved contractor in Oshawa for the new Canada Greener Homes Grant program. This program helps Canadians make energy-efficient improvements to their homes to help save energy.
When you save energy, you save money. Homes that participate in this program will be more comfortable as indoor air temperatures will be easier to maintain since the heating and cooling system will need to run less often.
There will be up to 700,000 grants available with rebates of up to $5,000 for homeowners who make energy-efficient retrofits to their homes, like topping up their attic insulation. A rebate of up to $600 is available for EnerGuide evaluations to help homeowners determine what retrofits would benefit their homes the most and start planning those retrofits.
The Canada Greener Homes Grant provides rebates to help homeowners top up their attic insulation. The more insulation in the attic, the slower the rate of heat loss, which results in improved energy efficiency.
Heat loss resistance is measured using an R-value. The higher the R-value, the better the heat loss resistance. Current building codes, as of 2021, require attics to have an R-value of R60 in attic insulation.
An attic insulation top-up is one of the easiest retrofits to make since the attic in most homes is easily accessible. With the grants, you can save on making energy improvements to your home.
You must insulate a minimum of 20% of the total areas of the attic while increasing the R-value. The new insulation must be added in the same locations as the existing insulation. The grant program will reimburse you up to $1,800 for topping up the attic insulation.
The rebate can vary based on the current R-value in the attic and the R-value after the top-up.
Yes, the Canada Greener Homes Grant program allows you to combine grants for other energy-efficient home improvements. You can receive a rebate as well based on the type of improvements made.
