Details are anticipated to be announced this year on the Greener Homes interest-free loan that incorporates and builds on the energy audits and grants available. In the meantime, you can get started by visiting Natural Resources Canada to get more details on the initiative. Note that the delivery of the loan might be impacted by the public health safety concerns surrounding COVID-19.
The Canada Greener Homes Grant will invest $2.6 billion over 7 years to help up to 700,000 Canadian homeowners across the country improve the energy efficiency of their homes and reduce their energy bills.
Homeowners will be able to receive grants of up to $5,000 to make energy-efficient retrofits to their homes and up to $600 to help with the cost of an EnerGuide home energy evaluation.
To help homeowners and build on these measures, the 2021 Federal Budget proposed $4.4 billion over 5 years, starting in 2021-2022 to help up to 175,000 homeowners complete major home retrofits through interest-free loans of up to $40,000.
