What happens after I select EnerQuality for the energy evaluation?
Selecting EnerQuality as the service organization responsible for coordinating your energy evaluation means that we will find a certified energy advisor operating in your area for the evaluation.
Here’s what to expect:
- Once your Canada Greener Homes Grant application is approved, EnerQuality will receive a system notification that you have selected us as your service organization for the energy evaluation. [Please note that NRCan’s grant application approval timelines have been 4 – 6 weeks.]
- We’ll call you (or email you) to find out the best date and time to schedule your pre-retrofit home energy evaluation.
- We will connect you with an energy advisor to share any information in advance of the evaluation.
- Some energy advisors might ask for the square footage of the home or some basic details about heating type or building style before their visit.
- At the time of the visit, your energy advisor will spend about 1.5 – 2 hours inside and outside the home taking measurements, making notes of window and door attributes, and examining elements of the home’s construction. They might also use tools such as a thermal camera and along with a blower door test to get accurate information on your home’s areas of energy loss and opportunities for improved energy savings.
- About two weeks after your energy evaluation, the energy advisor will send you a copy of your EnerGuide home energy evaluation. In the report, you’ll see the areas of greatest energy loss and the most opportunity for energy-savings retrofits. This report will help you make decisions about the types of eligible retrofits recommended for your home.
- Information from the report will be added to your application profile.
- After you complete your retrofit projects, you’ll need to schedule the follow-up (post-retrofit) energy assessment to fulfill the program requirements and submit the paperwork for reimbursement.
