Buildings, including our homes, account for 18% of Canada’s greenhouse gas emissions. The Greener Homes Grant was put in place to help Canadians make where they live more energy-efficient. This means homes will be more comfortable and affordable to maintain while also supporting our overall environmental objectives. This Government of Canada Initiative offers a free home energy evaluation; included is a grant of up to $5,000 to cover the cost of energy-efficiency upgrades. To register for the grant, visit the Government of Canada Greener Homes portal & select Durabuilt as your service provider.

What is Involved With a Home Energy Evaluation?
During your Home Energy Evaluation, our EnerGuide Registered Home Energy Advisor will examine your home to determine its energy efficiency and diagnose areas of improvement that will benefit not only your utility bills but your overall home comfort.
What You Can Expect With Your Evaluation
Our registered home energy advisors will complete an EnerGuide-certified evaluation of your home to assess its energy efficiency. The evaluation will include a thorough, room-by-room examination of the property. It may consist of a blower-door test to determine the building’s airtightness and locate air leakage.
