The Canada Greener Homes Grant is a great opportunity for Canadian homeowners to make energy-efficient upgrades to their homes and reduce their carbon footprint.

As more people become aware of the importance of energy efficiency and sustainable living, governments around the world are offering incentives for homeowners to retrofit their homes. In Canada, the federal government has launched the Canada Greener Homes Grant, which provides $5,000 in reimbursements for making energy-efficient home improvements and an additional $1,500 if you are an Enbridge customer.

Here’s what you need to know about the program:

What is the Canada Greener Homes Grant? 

The Canada Greener Homes Grant is a program that provides grants of up to $10,000 to Canadian homeowners who want to make energy-efficient upgrades to their homes. The program is part of the Canadian government’s plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and achieve net-zero emissions by 2050.

Who is eligible for the grant? 

To be eligible for the grant, you must be a Canadian homeowner who owns a primary residence that is older than six months. The home must be located in Canada, and you must be able to provide proof of ownership, such as a property tax bill number. If you live in a multi-unit residential building or an Indigenous household, you may be eligible for additional grants.

What upgrades are eligible for the grant? 

The Canada Greener Homes Grant provides grants for a variety of energy-efficient upgrades, including:

    • Air sealing: This involves sealing air leaks in your home to improve energy efficiency. The program provides a grant of up to $1,000 for air sealing.

    Selecting the right ductless mini-split unit for your home requires careful consideration of factors such as size, energy efficiency, indoor unit type, outdoor unit location, noise level, brand and price, and professional installation. By taking these factors into account, you can choose a unit that meets your needs and budget while keeping your home comfortable year-round.

    Ductless mini-split units are a great option for heating and cooling your home without the need for ductwork. Here are some factors to consider when selecting a ductless mini-split unit for your home:

    1. Size: The size of the mini-split unit is determined by the size of the room or area you want to cool or heat. The unit’s cooling or heating capacity is measured in BTUs (British Thermal Units), and it’s important to select a unit that can adequately heat or cool the space.
    2. Energy Efficiency: Look for units with a high SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) rating. A higher SEER rating means the unit is more energy-efficient, which can save you money on your utility bills.
    3. Indoor Unit Type: Ductless mini-split units come in various indoor unit types, such as wall-mounted, floor-mounted, and ceiling-mounted. Consider the room layout, the size of the space, and your personal preferences when selecting the indoor unit type.
    4. Outdoor Unit Location: The outdoor unit should be placed in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight and debris. Consider the space you have available for the outdoor unit when selecting a ductless mini-split unit.
    5. Noise Level: Look for units with a low noise level. You don’t want a loud unit disturbing your peace and quiet.
    6. Brand and Price: Consider the brand’s reputation and the price of the unit. A higher-priced unit may have more features or be more energy-efficient, but it’s important to find a unit that fits your budget.
    7. Professional Installation: It’s essential to have your mini-split unit installed by a professional to ensure it’s done correctly and safely. Consider the installation cost when selecting a unit.
