Federal Incentives

1. ecoEnergy Retrofit Grant for Homeowners

Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) offers a residential energy efficiency assessment service. Under the ecoENERGY Retrofit Program, a property owner can qualify for federal grants by improving the energy efficiency of their home and reducing their home's impact on the environment.

NRCan-licensed energy advisors conduct a detailed on-site assessment of your home's energy use. These advisors then provide you with a personalized written report, including a checklist of recommended retrofits to improve the energy efficiency of your home. The homeowner then has 18 months to complete these retrofits. The highest grant that NRCan is offering is for the installation of a ground-source (geothermal) heat pump. The grant has increased by 25% this year. When you replace your existing heating system with a geothermal heat pump, and complete other energy-saving upgrades, you are entitled to a $5000 grant.

2. Home Renovation Tax Credit

The Home Renovation Tax Credit of $1,350 can be used toward replacing a conventional method of heating and cooling with geothermal.
