In Calgary, the Canada Greener Homes Loan is closely associated with federal and municipal initiatives like the Canada Greener Homes Grant and the Clean Energy Improvement Program (CEIP).
To apply for these financial incentives and ensure you meet all requirements, follow these steps:
- Schedule an EnerGuide Evaluation: Before beginning any work, you must book a pre-retrofit energy evaluation through a licensed service organization to establish a baseline for your home’s efficiency.
- Verify Eligibility: Ensure you are the owner of a primary residence and are selecting eligible cold climate heat pump models from the approved list.
- Professional Installation: Work with a certified professional, such as Northstar Heating & Cooling, to install the system. In Calgary, a dual fuel heat pump system is often recommended to handle extreme winter temperatures.
- Post-Retrofit Assessment: After the installation is complete, you must schedule a follow-up evaluation to verify the energy-efficient upgrades.
- Documentation and Submission: Gather all proof of purchase, receipts, and equipment specifications. Northstar Heating & Cooling provides administrative support by managing all rebate paperwork and documentation on your behalf to ensure the claim is processed correctly.
Additionally, Calgary residents can utilize the Clean Energy Improvement Program (CEIP), which allows property owners to finance up to $20,000 for energy upgrades and repay the loan through their property tax bill.
