To be eligible for rebates, homeowners and/or builders must meet the following criteria: 

1. The home’s building permit is dated no more than 30 days before the date of application.
2. The home’s heating system must have an air or hydronic distribution system unless the home meets or exceeds an EnerGuide rating of 88. An exception is made for homes using ductless mini-split heat pumps, as long as the heat pumps meet at least 2/3 of the annual space heating requirements. A home with electric baseboards or ETS (electric thermal storage) room units as the primary heating system is not eligible (unless the EnerGuide rating is ≥ 88.)
3. Basements must be insulated to at least the minimum standard required by the Nova Scotia Building Code regardless of its EnerGuide score.
4. No rebates will be paid to a completed home with an EnerGuide rating of less than 83.
5. Homes must be completed and applications submitted within one year of the PerformancePlus registration date.
