We didn't receive the 25% bump from either Federal or Provincial. You should be good to receive the 25% bump if you had not had your 2nd energy audit until after the announcement back in March 2009.

You should be good to receive the 25% bump if you had not had your 2nd energy audit until after the announcement back in March 2009.

The way I read that is you should be good if you haven't had the second inspection? Makes sense I would hope, since you haven't officially earned the grant yet. Erick,

I hadn’t heard thanks for letting us know!

Using their 'Contact Us' email feature, I got this response a few days later: "Homeowners who have their post-retrofit inspection on or after the March 30, 2009, announcement will be paid according to the new grant table which includes the 25% increase." Hi there,

Just in case your readers haven’t heard about it, they’ve bumped up the rebates by 25%…

I found this page that details the different provincial programs. http://www.oee.nrcan.gc.ca/residential/personal/retrofit-homes/provincial-municipal.cfm Marg,

For example, in Ontario the province meets the Federal amounts dollar for dollar meaning you can get up to $10,000 in grants/rebates. It's government dollars wisely invested.

If people wish to learn more about this and what they can expect to experience, plus pictures of what the different sections of the energy audit report (officially called the ecoENERGY Energy Efficiency Assessment Report), they can visit this page of our home web site where we write about our ecoENERGY experiences: http://dailyhomerenotips.com/ecoenergy/ Remember, you must have the first energy audit before you undertake to replace that worn furnace with a high efficiency model, or add attic insullation, or start to seal the air leaks in your home, etc. in order to qualify for the grants. We did not know this and undertook some of these before the first energy audit and lost out on the grants.
