The Federal eco ENERGY Retrofit Initiative
Natural Resources Canada’s eco ENERGY program is available to owners of single family homes including detached, semi-detached and low rise multi-unit residential buildings. Property owners can qualify for these grants by improving the energy efficiency of their homes, and reducing their home’s impact on the environment.
AmeriSpec of Canada is licensed by the federal government to perform residential energy evaluations. These eco energy evaluations will identify how your home uses energy and where it is being wasted. Our evaluators will show you how to improve the comfort of your home and cut heating and cooling costs, while ensuring adequate ventilation for a healthy indoor environment!
