Step 5 – Green Renovations – Energy Grants and Rebates

Now the renovation is done, the mess is gone you have just enjoyed your first dinner with friends in your new dining room and kitchen and the question is asked. “Bob – you’ve got the power. How much savings did you get from the renovation?” And that is when you remember that the process has one last step.

The second energy audit is conducted following the completion of the recommended improvements to evaluate and verify the actual work performed. (This is where an unbiased auditor is important). The auditor submits the report to the ecoENERGY retrofit program. ecoENERGY issues the grant money. Local municipalities may also offer low ware usage rebates. See links below for more details.
