This really is a no-brainer...

Just when I thought the deal couldn't get any sweeter!

To add on to the CTV video I posted yesterday, I've been able to dig up a bit more information about what this means! In a nutshell - more money!

For those of you who may not be familiar with the ecoENERGY-Retrofit Homes program, here's what the process looks like:

1. Book an eco-audit (that's what we're doing this Saturday, April 4 with the guys from DT Home Energy Advisors). The purpose of the audit is to explain your home's energy use, take a walk-through of your home's insulation, heating and cooling systems and other energy uses, perform a "blower door" depressurization test to identify leaks and drafts, and outline all these results in a report.
2. Make the improvements suggested in your personalized Energy Efficiency Evaluation Report
3. Get a post-retrofit audit
4. Get up to $10,000 in tax-free rebates for your upgrades!

Now, in an act of absolute, perfect timing, Natural Resources Canada just announced yesterday that grants offered under the ecoENERGY-Retrofit Homes program will increase by 25 per cent! For example, if you were looking to upgrade to a new energy-efficient furnace, the available grant has increased from $500 to $625!

In addition, these grants can be used in conjunction with the Government of Canada's new Home Renovation Tax Credit worth up to $1,350.

I know what you're thinking... what's the catch? Well - the offer is time-limited. After you've completed your audit, you have 18 months to make the upgrades and perform a post-retrofit audit to be eligible for the grants - which will only be around until March 11, 2011. If you do the math - that's not a lot of time.

What this really all boils down to - is opportunity.
NOW is the time book your own audit and take advantage of this money.

Please join us this Saturday, April 4 between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. in our home and see for yourself - you can join us in making your house more eco-friendly, more comfortable to live in, and most importantly - less expensive to opertate!
