The program offers homeowners access to advice on energy efficiency and rebates on home retrofits.
“More than 1,250 Edmontonians have participated in the Change Homes for Climate programs so far,” said Robyn Webb, Energy Transition Unit senior environmental project manager. “With this new rebate program we hope even more Edmontonians will take advantage of these incentives to make their homes more energy efficient.”
Homeowners can receive $400 towards the cost of a Home Energy Evaluation. They can then apply for further rebates on a number of home upgrades, including insulation, windows and furnaces.
The city said the program helps Edmontonians reduce their home’s greenhouse emissions and makes energy use in homes more visible.
