Natural Resources Canada announced yesterday that the ecoEnergy retrofit grant program was being expanded to give homeowners an ADDITIONAL 25% more money back on eligble upgrades. The 25% increase is not universal; the grant for eligible
Solar Domestic Hot Water systems goes up from $500 to $1,250! The province of Ontario has not formally announced it's intent to continue to match the federal amount, however initial indications point to this continuing.
For more information on the latest grant amounts check out NRCan's announcement and updated ecoEnergy retrofit document.
http://oee.nrcan.gc.ca/residential/personal/retrofit-homes/pdf/homes-grant-e.pdfFor members of Sustainable Ottawa, the impact is tremendous! An eligible (Enerworks or Apricus) SDHW system can now obtain rebates of:
- $2,500 (ecoEnergy retrofit program - assuming Ontario continues to match federal grant)
- $250 PST rebate
- $900 (approx.) Home Renovation Tax Credit
- $1,200 Solar H2Ottawa incentive
for a total of
$4,850 in credits!
