Canadians who have an energy audit before they start renovating are eligible for federal government grants offered through Natural Resources Canada. For example, they could get up to $600 for installing an HRV (heat recovery ventilation) system, or up to $1000 for upgrading basement insulation. Complete details of the program and a downloadable brochure are available at this link: http://oee.nrcan.gc.ca/residential/personal/retrofit-homes/retrofit-qualify-grant.cfm?attr=4
Contact local heating and cooling specialists or home renovation contractors to participate in the program. They will arrange for a Certified Energy Advisor to perform specialized tests and procedures on your home in order to assess your current energy loss factors. Based on this information, they will draw up a proposal for energy-efficient renovations or “retrofits” to improve your home’s energy profile and derive the highest benefit from the government grant program for your specific application.
