Step 2 – Energy Evaluation (Pre-Upgrade)

Limited number of energy evaluations (pre-upgrade) available for only $75 (you SAVE $420). 

  • Schedule a pre-upgrade energy evaluation at your convenience with an Energy Advisor.
  • Working with an Energy Advisor, you’ll gain a better understanding of your home’s energy use with a custom report and EnerGuide rating that helps you make home improvement decisions that fit your needs.
  • Share your home’s EnerGuide label with Metro Vancouver’s rateourhome.ca and join a growing community of homeowners sharing the energy performance of their home and seeing how it compares to other similar homes in the region.

Step 3 – Home Improvements*

  • From air sealing and attic insulation, to replacing windows and upgrading your heating system, there are a number of opportunities to improve home comfort and reduce energy costs.
  • Hiring the right Contractor will help you turn your energy assessment into energy upgrades and savings.
  • Please note that the use of a Program Registered Contractor (PRC) will be required to receive a rebate on an insulation upgrade completed and invoiced on or after April 1, 2021.
