How the EnerGuide Assessment Process Works
Essential to qualifying for a rebate is the use of the EnerGuide system, managed by qualified energy consultants. The typical sequence is:
- Pre-Retrofit Assessment: Before making any improvements, an EnerGuide specialist will assess your home to determine its current energy efficiency.
- Implementation of Improvements: You implement the recommended improvements using eligible products and services.
- Post-Retrofit Evaluation: After completion, the consultant measures the improvements and certifies the efficiency gains.
- Rebate Request: EnerGuide reports are used to request reimbursement of eligible costs.
This process ensures that the renovations have a real impact on the energy efficiency of the residence — an essential condition for the rebates to be granted.
