How do I Apply for the Clean Energy Improvement Program in Calgary?

To apply for the Clean Energy Improvement Program (CEIP) in Calgary, you must follow a specific process coordinated through the City of Calgary and a registered contractor.

Here are the steps to get started:

1. Verify Property Eligibility: Confirm that your property is located within Calgary city limits. Eligible properties include single-family homes, condos, and small businesses.
2. Identify Upgrades and Get a Quote: Review the list of CEIP eligible upgrades, such as high-efficiency furnaces, heat pumps, air conditioners, or solar panels. You will need to request a quote from a CEIP-registered contractor, such as Northstar Heating & Cooling.
3. Home Energy Assessment: Participating in the program may require a professional home energy assessment to evaluate your property’s needs.
4. Submit Your Application: Submit your formal CEIP application directly to the City of Calgary. Your contractor can often assist you with the necessary documentation for this step.
5. Installation and Repayment: Once your application is approved, the contractor performs the installation. The cost of the project is then repaid over time (up to 20 years) through your municipal property tax bill.

Because CEIP terms and eligibility are managed by the municipality and are subject to change, it is recommended to verify the most current details on the official City of Calgary website before proceeding.
