Home Energy Assessment
Make your home more comfortable and energy efficient by keeping your valuable heat inside with heat pumps, better insulation, draft-proofing, windows, doors, and other upgrades. Book your $99 Home Energy Assessment to see where your home is losing heat, and what you can do to improve it.
Learn how your home uses energy, and what you can do to make it more efficient and comfortable with a $99 Home Energy Assessment.
In 2-3 hours, an approved partner will look at insulation levels, air leakage, and mechanical systems from attic to basement—assigning your home an EnerGuide energy performance score and custom report of prioritized upgrades.
Take advantage of financing opportunities and up to $5,000 in rebates to complete these upgrades, and enjoy your energy efficient home. This program is open to homes in Nova Scotia that are at least 6 months old. Read the full home and product eligibility guidelines.
