The Federal Canada Greener Homes Grant
Through the Federal program, homeowners can receive up to $5,600 in retrofit initiatives when you complete your home energy assessment.
The process is simple. For eligible homeowners, the Greener Homes Grant initiative is designed to subsidize the price, encouraging homeowners to pursue renovations that cut energy costs and lower their overall greenhouse gas emissions.
