Insulation Rebate

The City of Edmonton’s insulation rebate program ended on March 31, 2012. If your post-evaluation work was completed between April 1, 2011 and March 31, 2012 it would have been filed by your energy assessor with Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) and sent on to Climate Change Central for consideration.

The rebates offered by the City were available on a first-come first-served basis, until funding runs out. C3 continues to receive evaluations from NRCan for consideration for rebate processing.

NRCan's ecoENERGY program no longer accepting new registrations

The ecoENERGY program has successfully reached its goal of 250,000 registered homeowners. As planned, the program is no longer accepting new registrations. To help ensure registered homeowners have time to get their post-retrofit evaluations and receive a grant, the Government of Canada is extending the deadline to June 30, 2012, for homeowners to complete post-retrofit evaluations and apply for a grant. All retrofit renovations must still be completed by March 31, 2012.

If you have questions regarding this program, please call ecoENERGY at toll free 1-800-O-CANADA (1-800-622-6232).

Provincial Rebates Still Available

The province is investing $36 million in consumer rebates to help Albertans reduce their greenhouse gas emissions. As part of the three-year program, rebates are available to existing homeowners who improve their energy efficiency, to new home buyers who purchase energy efficient homes and to taxi operators who are transitioning their fleet to hybrid vehicles.

Eligible purchases, which are retroactive to January 1, 2009, include:

• new homes that achieve a high level of energy efficiency
• energy evaluations for homeowners to assess the current energy efficiency of their home and to measure its efficiency after home improvements are made
• efficient home heating systems, hot water heating systems, clothes washers and insulation upgrades

The rebate program will be run by Climate Change Central, a non-profit organization created in 2000 to empower Albertans to take action on climate change. For specific information on what purchases are eligible and how to apply for a rebate, visit Climate Change Central or call toll free at 1-888-537-7202. For information on the rebate, please see their announcement.
