Book your post-retrofit evaluation and apply for reimbursement

Once you have completed your retrofits, you are ready to book your post-retrofit evaluation and request reimbursement.

Steps to finalize your reimbursement

Sign in to the portal to request your post-retrofit evaluation.

Get ready for your evaluation:

• What to expect from your home evaluation
• Prepare your home for the evaluation
• The day of your evaluation
• The results of your evaluation

The post-retrofit evaluation shows how much energy has been saved, how much greenhouse gas emissions are reduced because of the retrofits, and how much your energy advisor recommends you receive for reimbursement.

Once completed, your evaluation will include:

• your new EnerGuide rating and label
• follow-up information indicating improvements to your home energy efficiency and your EnerGuide rating

Your energy advisor has up to 30 days after your post-retrofit EnerGuide evaluation to submit electronic and signed paper documents to Natural Resources Canada.

You will be able to login to access your reports. Once you have reviewed your evaluation, mark this step as completed in the portal to move forward.

To ensure that you are properly reimbursed, you must have all of the following documents so we can verify your eligible retrofits:

• receipts for your pre-and post-retrofit EnerGuide evaluation
• all receipts and invoices for products purchased and for installation costs

It is highly recommended that you also have an attestation form (if applicable for your retrofit) confirming that:

• installation of an electrical or mechanical system has been completed by a trained and licensed professional (PDF, 120 KB)^{Footnote *}
• a geothermal system was installed in accordance with CSA standards (PDF, 120 KB)
• the heat pump has been sized to your entire home (PDF, 118 KB)

Your energy advisor will upload your before and after photos.

You will need to keep copies of your documents until March 31, 2028. The federal grants are not taxable and do not have to be declared as income.
