Major changes will be made to the Canada Greener Homes Initiative in 2024. All of the details of the new plan have not yet been announced but here’s what we know so far:
For more information check out National Resources Canada’s February 2024 Update.
In this video Francis’s Tom Rand provides a helpful overview of the Canadian Government’s Greener Homes Grant that offers homeowners the opportunity to receive up to $7,100 in heat pump rebates when they install a new high-efficiency heat pump. Heat pumps are a great option for Ottawa homeowners even in our freezing winters and humid summers.
National Resources Canada introduced the Greener Homes Grant to support Canadian homeowners in implementing energy-efficient retrofits, including upgrading to modern, high-efficiency HVAC systems. This initiative aims to reduce the significant contribution of buildings to greenhouse gas emissions, and ultimately reduce our environmental impact.
By participating in this program, Ottawa homeowners have a unique opportunity to reduce their carbon footprint, while also enjoying the improved comfort of their home. Not to mention that switching to a high-efficiency heat pump will likely save you money on monthly utility bills! Especially since the Canadian Federal Carbon Tax will increase annually by $15 per ton between 2023 and 2030 – more than tripling the current cost!
You may be eligible for the Canada Greener Homes Grant if you meet the following criteria:
Eligibility is subject to change see full details here.
We’ve helped countless homeowners secure their rebates. Skip the headache of tedious grant applications – leave it to the pros!
Unfortunately, you will not receive any of the grant money until after the final evaluation is complete and in that time you will have to pay your contractor(s) for their work. Don’t worry! There are great options available designed to help bridge this gap.
Many contractors including Francis will offer quality financing options, which is often the quickest way to secure the required funds. These can include options for affordable monthly payments, or a deferral period without interest if you’re waiting for grant money to arrive. – Read more
Natural Resources Canada has also created a loan specifically for those participating in the Greener Homes Grant. These loans range from $5,000 – $40,000, are interest-free and have a repayment term of 10 years. This loan is completely separate from your Greener Homes Grant submission and must be applied to separately. – Learn more.
