BC Home Energy Planner Now Available Province-Wide!
The Province of BC has officially launched the BC Home Energy Planner, a free online tool designed to help homeowners improve their home’s energy efficiency. After a successful pilot in select communities, including New Westminster, this helpful tool is now available to homeowners across the province!
How It Works
The BC Home Energy Planner is easy to use. By entering just a few basic details—such as your address, floor area, and any previous upgrades—you’ll receive a personalized report. This report includes:
- Your home’s energy score
- Estimated energy use and emissions
- Customized upgrade recommendations to help reduce energy consumption and improve efficiency
- And more!
New Westminster residents can continue to access this service FREE of charge. All you need is a computer or mobile device to get started!
Important Note: What the BC Home Energy Planner Doesn’t Do
While the BC Home Energy Planner offers valuable insights, it’s important to remember that it’s not a substitute for a full EnerGuide for Existing Homes evaluation.
A Certified Energy Advisor (CEA) conducts an EnerGuide evaluation onsite, performing a blower door test to pinpoint areas of air leakage, along with in-depth analysis and personalized recommendations.
For those interested in a more comprehensive evaluation, our Existing Home program offers the EnerGuide for Existing Homes service for just $75—a savings of over $420 off the regular price!
